Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound Ground Beef
Taco Shells
- 8 Soft Flour Tortillas
Cheese
- 4 slices Cheddar or American Cheese
Vegetables
- 1 cup Lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup Onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup Pickles, sliced
Condiments
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- 1/4 cup Mustard

Instructions
- Prepare the Meat: Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
- Smash the Beef: Using a spatula, press down on the beef to create a nice sear. This will enhance the flavor and give your tacos that classic smashed burger texture.
- Add the Cheese: When the beef is almost cooked through, place slices of cheese on top and cover the skillet to allow it to melt, about 2 minutes.
- Prepare the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable. Once ready, spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto each tortilla.
- Add Toppings: Top your Smashed Cheeseburger Tacos with lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, and pickles. Drizzle with your favorite condiments for the finishing touch!

- Don’t Overcook the Beef: Keep an eye on the beef to ensure it stays juicy and tender.
- Customize Seasoning: Feel free to add spices like garlic powder or paprika for more depth of flavor.
- Warm Tortillas: Warming the tortillas prevents them from cracking when you fold them.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy these tacos fresh for the best taste and texture.
