Looking for a fun new recipe for your next hamburger? Try this smash burger. The tortilla really soaks in the burger juice and makes for a delicious crunchy hand held meal! Ground beef, cheese, tortillas and a delicious homemade mayo-based sauce.
Ingredients for the ultimate smash burger
BEEF: Ground beef, I use good quality home grown Iowa beef but any beef will do. Ground turkey or venison could also be used.
Cheese: this is sliced cheese to top the burger with. Colby jack, cheddar or really any kind of cheese.
Tortillas: in this recipe we used 10-inch tortillas. Mission tortillas are our favorite, but any kind will do. Use low carb tortillas if you are counting carbs!
Seasonings: sprinkle salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder or whatever your favorite burger seasoning is on that beef!
Onion: we used a medium sized red onion half to sauté and then add to the burger.
Sauce ingredients: Mayonnaise (I only use Hellmans!), G hughes sugar free sweet Thai Chili Sauce, sugar, vinegar, paprika, sea salt, garlic & onion powder. Sweet pickle relish (or dice up a sweet pickle if you are in a pinch). Replace the chili sauce with any kind of sauce or mustard you enjoy.
Toppings: we also topped ours with chopped lettuce. It would taste great with guacamole or spinach too. PS -Sams club guacamole is THE BEST.
Perfect little field meal..just don’t forget the napkins!
Don’t forget dessert!
