Ingredients For the Smash Burgers
For the Smash Burgers:
· 1 lbs. ground beef
· Salt and pepper, to taste
· 8 small flour tortillas
· ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
· Cooking oil for frying
For the Sauce:
· ½ cup mayonnaise
· ¼ cup dill pickle relish

Instructions For the Smash Burgers
· Make the Smash Burgers: Start by seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper. Then, divide it into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
· Take each meatball and press it down onto a tortilla, using your fingers to flatten it out.
· Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
· Place a tortilla in the skillet with the meat side down. Use a spatula or another flat tool to press the beef down, creating a thin patty that covers most of the tortilla's surface.
· Cook the burger on one side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the beef begins to brown. If desired, use the back of the spatula to press down on the burger to flatten it further.
· Flip the tortilla and burger over and immediately sprinkle a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooking beef patty.
· Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and continue cooking for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the burger is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
· Remove the smash burger from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat this process with the remaining smash burger tacos.
· Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully blended. Set the sauce aside.
· Assemble the Smash Burger Tacos: Sprinkle the chopped onions over the shredded iceberg lettuce.
· Drizzle the prepared sauce over the toppings. Adjust the sauce amount according to your taste.
· To assemble each taco, place a generous amount of shredded iceberg lettuce with onions on top of the burger.
· Fold the tortilla in half, creating a taco shape.
· Serve the smash burger tacos immediately and enjoy the delicious fusion of smash burgers and tacos!
