Ingredients for Blackstone Smashburger Asian Tacos

For the Smashburger Tacos

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 works best)
• 8 small flour tortillas
• Salt and black pepper
• Sesame seeds

For the Asian Sauce

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup sweet Asian chili sauce

Toppings

• Asian slaw
• Yum Yum sauce

How to Make Blackstone Smashburger Asian Tacos

Step 1: Preheat the Blackstone

Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat until it's nice and hot.

Step 2: Prepare the Beef

Divide the ground beef into eight equal balls.

Step 3: Smash the Burgers

Place a beef ball onto the hot griddle. Immediately place a flour tortilla over the meat and use a burger press or sturdy spatula to firmly smash the beef into a thin layer underneath the tortilla.

Season with salt and pepper.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the beef develops crispy edges.

Step 4: Flip

Using a large spatula, carefully flip the tortilla so the tortilla side is now on the griddle.

Cook another 1-2 minutes until the tortilla is lightly toasted.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

While the tacos cook, whisk together the soy sauce and sweet Asian chili sauce until well combined.

Step 6: Assemble

Transfer the tacos to a serving platter.

Top each taco with:

• A drizzle of the Asian sauce
• A handful of crunchy Asian slaw
• A light drizzle of Yum Yum sauce
• A sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions

Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.

Tips for the Best Blackstone Smashburger Asian Tacos

• Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy burgers with crispy edges.
• Don't move the meat after smashing—it helps develop the signature crust.
• Keep the slaw cold until serving so it stays crisp.
• Toast the tortilla just until lightly golden for the perfect texture.
• Drizzle the sauces just before serving so the tortillas don't become soggy.

Variations

Add Some Heat

Top with sliced jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of sriracha.

Add Fresh Herbs

Fresh cilantro or sliced green onions make a delicious finishing touch.

Try Different Slaw

Broccoli slaw or a cabbage-carrot slaw both work beautifully.

Make It Cheesier

Add a slice of pepper jack or provolone cheese before flipping the taco for an extra layer of flavor.

What to Serve with Asian Smashburger Tacos

These tacos pair well with:

• Hibachi fried rice
• Garlic sesame green beans
• Air fryer pot stickers

Storage

Store leftover taco meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keep the slaw and sauces separate until you're ready to eat. Reheat the meat on a hot skillet or Blackstone, then assemble fresh tacos for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these without a Blackstone?

Absolutely! A cast iron skillet or flat-top griddle works great. Just make sure it's very hot before smashing the burgers.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes! Mix the soy sauce and sweet Asian chili sauce together and refrigerate it for up to a week.

What kind of slaw should I use?

Any prepared Asian slaw mix works well, or you can make your own using shredded cabbage, carrots, and a light sesame dressing.

Can I use ground turkey or chicken?

Yes. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted, though beef provides the classic smashburger flavor and creates the best crispy crust.
