Satisfaction comes in many ways, shapes and forms, like our take on this summer’s viral smash burger tacos! It doesn’t get more satisfying than the meaty cheesy fun of a cheeseburger. Assemble all those cozy components on tortillas to turn them into these diner-style tacos. Ground beef seasoned with our Meat & Greet blend gets a topping of aged white cheddar, followed by slivered lettuce and heirloom tomatoes. The secret is in the sauce (and shhhh, it’s mayo, ketchup and chopped gherkin cornichons).

Preparation
Mise en place
Thinly slice ⅓ of the lettuce and roughly chop the remaining ⅔. Medium-dice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the cornichons crosswise. In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the mayo, cornichons, ketchup, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Prepare the smash burger tacos
In a large bowl, combine the beef, remaining spices and S&P. Place the tortillas on a dry work surface. Spread evenly with the beef; season with S&P.
Cook the smash burger tacos
In a large pan (use 2 pans for speed), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Working in batches, add the tacos, meat-sides down, and cook, 1 to 2 min., until the beef* is cooked through. Flip and top with the cheese. Cook, 30 sec. to 1 min., until the cheese has melted.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a second large bowl, combine the vinegar (start with ½), a drizzle of oil and S&P. Add the chopped lettuce and ½ the tomatoes; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the smash burger tacos between your plates. Top with the sliced lettuce, remaining tomatoes, a spoonful of the sauce and S&P. Serve the salad and remaining sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
