Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season the beef:<\/strong><br \/>\nDivide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Season each portion lightly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat the skillet:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the smash burgers:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace one portion of ground beef onto the hot skillet. Immediately place a flour tortilla directly on top of the beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smash it down:<\/strong><br \/>\nUsing a sturdy spatula or burger press, firmly press the tortilla down so the beef becomes thin and spreads almost to the edges of the tortilla.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook until crispy:<\/strong><br \/>\nCook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the beef develops a browned, crispy crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flip:<\/strong><br \/>\nCarefully flip the tortilla so the tortilla side is now touching the skillet. Place a slice of cheese on top of the cooked beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish cooking:<\/strong><br \/>\nCook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the tortilla is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the toppings:<\/strong><br \/>\nRemove from the skillet. Spread a generous amount of creamy burger sauce over the cheesy beef. Add pickle slices, shredded lettuce, and sliced onions if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve immediately:<\/strong><br \/>\nFold the tortilla in half like a taco or serve it open-faced. Enjoy while hot and crispy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a0Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n<p>Serve these crispy smash taco burgers with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>French fries<\/li>\n<li>Onion rings<\/li>\n<li>Potato wedges<\/li>\n<li>Coleslaw<\/li>\n<li>Extra pickles and burger sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> For the crispiest results, don&#8217;t overcrowd the pan and make sure your skillet is very hot before smashing the beef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tortilla Smash Taco Burgers\u00a0 Crispy golden tortillas topped with juicy smashed beef, melted cheese, crunchy pickles, and creamy burger sauce\u2014these&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7561"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7563,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7561\/revisions\/7563"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
