- 2 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Smash Burger Tacos
1. Prepare the Beef Mixture – In a bowl, mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Smash & Cook – Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Take a portion of the beef mixture, place it in the pan, and smash it down with a spatula to form a thin patty.
3. Flip & Cook – Cook each side for about 2 minutes each - because they are so thin they cook quick. Once the beef is almost cooked add the tortilla on top and cook both sides.
4. Assemble the Tacos – Remove from the pan and add shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced onions, and your favourite sauces.
5. Serve & Enjoy – Fold like a taco and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Swap ground beef for turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter option.
- Add cheese to the beef before flipping for a melty, cheesy twist.
- Try pickles, jalapeños, or crispy bacon for extra toppings.
