What Are Smashburger Tacos?

Smashburger tacos are made by pressing seasoned ground beef directly onto a tortilla, then cooking it on a hot griddle until crispy. Once flipped, you add cheese and toppings—creating a taco that tastes like a burger but eats like a taco.

This version adds that iconic “Big Mac” flavor thanks to a homemade special sauce, shredded lettuce, pickles, and onions.

Ingredients

For the Tacos:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 works best)
• 6 small flour tortillas
• 6 slices of American cheese
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• ½ cup diced onions
• Dill pickle slices

For the Big Mac Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Blackstone Smashburger Big Mac Tacos

Step 1: Preheat Your Blackstone

Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to get that perfect sear.

Step 2: Prep the Beef

Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions. Roll into loose balls.

Step 3: Smash onto Tortillas

Place a tortilla flat on your work surface. Take one portion of beef and press it evenly across one side of the tortilla, covering most of the surface.

Step 4: Cook on the Griddle

Place the tortilla meat-side down onto the hot Blackstone. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure good contact. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the beef develops a crispy crust.

Step 5: Flip and Add Cheese

Flip the taco so the tortilla is now on the griddle. Immediately add a slice of American cheese to the cooked beef. Cook another 1–2 minutes until the tortilla is lightly toasted and the cheese melts.

Step 6: Add Toppings

Remove from the griddle and top with:

• Shredded lettuce
• Diced onions
• Pickles
• Drizzle of Big Mac sauce

Fold like a taco and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Smashburger Tacos

• Use 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor and crispiness
• Don’t overcrowd the griddle—cook in batches if needed
• Press the beef thin for that classic smashburger texture
• Toast the tortilla just enough so it’s warm but still flexible

Variations to Try

• Double Cheeseburger Style: Add an extra slice of cheese
• Spicy Version: Mix hot sauce or sriracha into the Big Mac sauce
• Low-Carb Option: Use low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps
• Chicken Version: Swap ground beef for ground chicken (I love making Blackstone Chicken recipes! Be sure to check them all out)

What to Serve with Big Mac Tacos

• Crispy fries or waffle fries
• Onion rings
• Coleslaw
• Pasta salad
• Homemade milkshakes for the full diner vibe

Storage & Reheating

These are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers:

• Store meat separately from toppings
• Reheat on the griddle or skillet for the best texture
• Add fresh toppings after reheating
