Smash and Sizzle: Your New Favorite Taco Recipe!

To make Smash Burgers, season ground beef with salt and pepper, divide it into eight portions, and shape it into balls. Press each meatball onto a tortilla, flattening it out. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Place a tortilla meat-side down in the skillet, pressing the beef to create a thin patty. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until browned, then flip and sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the meat. Cover the skillet and cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the burger is done. Repeat for remaining portions.

Prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. To assemble, sprinkle chopped onions over shredded iceberg lettuce, drizzle with sauce, and place the mixture on each burger. Fold the tortilla in half, creating a taco shape. Serve immediately and enjoy!
