Looking for a quick midweek dinner that doesn’t compromise on flavour? These viral Smash Burger Tacos are a fun twist on the classic burger, packed with all the flavour you love but served in a soft tortilla. Using our Organic Beef Mince, with just the right balance of lean meat and natural fat, these tacos are juicy, flavourful, and guaranteed to be a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

Toppings

• 1 small head of lettuce (Little Gem or iceberg), finely shredded

• 1 onion, finely diced

• 1 tomato, finely chopped

Burger Sauce

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp American mustard

• 1–2 gherkins, finely chopped

• A splash of pickle juice

Tacos

• 400g Organic Beef Steak Mince from The Organic Butchery

• 8 small tortilla wraps

• Salt & black pepper

• 8 slices of cheese (American or cheddar works well)

• Sesame seeds, to garnish

Method

1. Prepare the toppings
   Finely shred the lettuce, dice the onion, and chop the tomato. Set aside in small bowls ready for topping.

2. Make the burger sauce
   Mix together the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, chopped gherkins, and pickle juice until smooth and tangy. Chill in the fridge until needed.

3. Cook the smash burger tacos
   Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Take a small handful of beef mince and squash it firmly onto one side of a tortilla wrap, pressing it into a thin, even layer. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Fry & flip
   Place the tortilla meat-side down into the hot pan. Cook until the beef is browned and crisp around the edges, then flip carefully.

5. Add the cheese
   Place a slice of cheese on top of the cooked beef, add a splash of water to the pan, and cover with a lid for a minute until the cheese has melted.

6. Assemble
   Remove from the pan and top with lettuce, onion, tomato, and a drizzle of burger sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for that authentic burger feel.

7. Repeat & serve
   Keep repeating the process until all the tortillas are done. Serve with homemade spicy wedges or fries for the ultimate comfort meal.
