The viral mashup: crispy-edged smashed beef patties griddled onto tortillas, topped with melted cheddar, lettuce, pickles and burger sauce.

Ingredients

• 120 g Ground Beef
• Tortillas × 2
• 40 g Cheddar
• 2 tbsp Burger sauce
• 30 g Lettuce
• 20 g Pickles

Method

1. Press beef onto tortillas

   

   Divide the beef into two balls, place one on each tortilla and press it into a thin, even layer right to the edges. Season well.

2. Smash-sear beef-side down

   

   Lay the tacos beef-side down in a hot, dry pan over medium-high heat and press down firmly with a spatula so the meat sears into a crisp, lacy, deep-brown crust.

3. Flip and cheese

   

   Flip the tacos, top the beef with the cheddar and let it melt while the tortilla crisps underneath.

4. Dress them

   

   Slide onto a plate and top with shredded lettuce, pickle slices and a generous drizzle of burger sauce.

5. Fold and eat

   

   Serve immediately while the edges are still crispy.
