For the Tacos

1 lb ground beef Choose lean ground beef or turkey if preferred.
8 pieces taco-sized tortillas Warm before use for better texture.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American) Optional to swap cheese based on preference.
1/2 cup lettuce, shredded For freshness.
1/2 cup tomato, diced Can also add jalapeños for spice.
1/4 cup onions, diced Use red or white onions based on preference.
to taste salt and pepper Season to your liking.
as needed tbsp cooking oil For frying the beef.
optional Pickles For added crunch and flavor.

Cooking

Warm a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and drizzle in some cooking oil.
Divide the ground beef into balls, each weighing around 2 oz.
Once the skillet is heated, transfer the beef balls to the pan and allow them to cook for 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, press down on each beef ball to form thin patties, then season with salt and pepper.
Allow the patties to cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned on one side.
Flip each patty and sprinkle cheese on top, letting it melt as it cooks.
Warm your tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until flexible.
Assemble by placing a smashed burger onto each tortilla and topping with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
