Ingredients

  • 4 beef burgers (or 500g beef mince, divided into 4 portions)
  • 2 tbsp chipotle paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic puree
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 cheese slices
  • 1/4 iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp pickles, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise, for the sauce
  • 2 tbsp ketchup, for the sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard, for the sauce
  • 1 tsp hot sauce, for the sauce
  • 1 tbsp relish, for the sauce

Method

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the Sauce & Burger Mix: In a bowl, combine all sauce ingredients with a pinch of salt and pepper; set aside. In another bowl, mix the beef burgers (or mince portions) with chipotle paste, garlic puree, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Form the Burger Tacos: Divide the seasoned beef into 4 even portions. Press each portion directly onto the center of a flour tortilla, flattening the beef to cover the tortilla almost entirely.

  3. Step 3

    Cook the Tacos: Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick pan (with a lid) over a medium-high heat. Place a tortilla, meat-side down, into the hot pan. Press down firmly with a spatula to ensure the meat sticks to the tortilla and to help it caramelize. Cook for about 6 minutes until the beef is deeply caramelized and cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Melt the Cheese: Flip the tortilla so the cooked meat side is now facing up. Immediately place two cheese slices on top of the hot beef. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another minute or two, or until the cheese has fully melted. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

  5. Step 5

    Assemble & Serve: Top each cooked smash burger taco with sliced lettuce, red onion, and chopped pickles. Drizzle generously with the prepared burger sauce. Fold the tacos and enjoy your trending fakeaway!
