How To Make smash-tacos with "mac" sauce
-
Step 1First, make the "Mac" sauce. Grate the onion using a grater or microplane until you have 1 tablespoon.
-
Step 2Mix the grated onion and remaining ingredients together and store in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Step 3To make the smashburger tacos, dice the onion and dill pickles. Heat a non-stick pan to medium or medium-high heat. Warm the tortillas, one by one, on both sides. (A little char is great but not necessary.)
-
Step 4Add 1 tbsp butter and melt.
-
Step 5Place one burger ball on top.
-
Step 6Spray the back of a big, sturdy, flat spatula with cooking spray. Press down on the burger until it is flat across the cooking surface and cannot be pressed any further. Do not be afraid to press firmly; the goal is to have the beef in contact with as much of the cooking surface as possible.
-
Step 7Reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Cook until crispy bits start to form, a couple minutes. Flip the burger, making sure to get as much crispy goodness as possible. Add a slice of American cheese.
-
Step 8Quickly add a warm tortilla. Cook until crispy on the bottom, a couple minutes.
-
Step 9Scrape up the taco with a large spatula and flip onto a plate, tortilla side down. Repeat steps 2 - 7 for each burger ball. To each taco, add the shredded lettuce, 1-2 tbsp "Mac" sauce, onions, and pickles.
