Variations Ideas
- Burger Press - To help with pressing the burgers on the griddle, recommend using a burger press.
- Prepare Griddle - Make sure to preheat the grill and oil it to ensure that the burgers cook evenly and do not stick.
- Change Meat - The smashburger tacos can be made with ground turkey or a combination of ground beef and ground turkey. You can even make with shredded chicken for a delicious variation.
- Tortillas - We used flour tortillas for this recipe, but you can use gluten-free corn tortillas.
- Special Sauce - The burger sauce is similar to McDonald's big mac sauce but you can use yellow mustard, mayo, and ketchup.
- Toppings - Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings. Pico de gallo, cilantro, chopped bacon, diced jalapeno, guacamole, slice mushrooms, tomatoes or salsa are great options.
