This was in my local Kroger affiliate’s latest recipe flyer and I thought it sounded interesting. It isn’t for the nights you want a nice, thick juicy burger done to a perfect medium-rare — it’s for the times you’re all about the toppings and the meat is just a supporting player.

Smash Burger Tacos

1 pound ground beef, turkey or meat alternative

½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon each black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder

6 flour tortillas (mine were about 7.5 inch low-carb variety; I’m not sure how corn tortillas would work with this, but I suspect they would crisp up too much to fold without cracking)

6 slices cheese (I used havarti)

tomato slices

pickles

burger sauce made of 1 tablespoon each pickle relish, mayo and ketchup plus ½ teaspoon mustard

lots of napkins!

Mix the meat, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders; divide into 6 portions. Start heating the skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of neutral oil. Place one portion meat on a tortilla and press meat out to cover as much of the tortilla as possible.

spread meat out as close to the edge of the tortilla as you can get

Place, meat side down, into hot skillet. Cook for 3 minutes; flip over, place cheese on top and cook for another minute (or slightly longer). (If making more than a couple of tacos, place on a foil-lined baking sheet in a warm oven at this point.)

Top with tomato slices, pickles and burger sauce and fold in half. Feel free to mix it up with your favorite burger or taco toppings; I suspect you could even use sausage, scrambled eggs and cheese for a breakfast variety. They do get on the messy side, so have lots of napkins handy!
