Ingredients
- Ground Beef (80/20 recommended)
- Taco Shells (corn or flour tortillas)
- American cheese (or cheddar/pepper jack)
- Lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Pickles
- Onions
- Avocado (optional)
- Jalapeños (optional)
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Taco sauce
- Sour cream (optional)
- Lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat your griddle over medium-high heat. It should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- Prepare the Beef: While the griddle is heating, divide the ground beef into equal portions, about 4 ounces each. Roll them loosely into balls without overworking the meat.
- Sear the Beef: Place the beef balls on the griddle. Using a spatula, press down firmly to smash the beef into a thin patty. The edges should be crispy and the center juicy. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
- Flip and Add Cheese: Once the edges are browned, flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the patties are cooking, warm the tortillas on the griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place a crispy patty in each tortilla. Add your desired toppings and condiments.
- Serve: Serve the tacos immediately while they’re hot, with extra toppings on the side for everyone to customize their own.
