JesseEatzThe 2025 viral sensation: seasoned ground beef smashed directly onto a tortilla for a crispy, caramelized crust and juicy finish.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (4 oz each). Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place one portion of beef in the center of a tortilla. Using a spatula or burger press, spread the meat in a very thin, even layer all the way to the edges of the tortilla.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tortilla beef-side down onto the hot surface. Press down firmly.
Don't move it! You want that Maillard reaction to create a deep brown crust.
Flip the taco so the tortilla side is down. Immediately place a slice of cheese on the beef and cover the pan for 30 seconds to melt.
Remove from heat and top with shredded lettuce, pickles, diced onions, and a drizzle of burger sauce. Fold and serve hot.
