10 -
1 pound lean ground beef
11 -
Salt, to taste
12 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
13 -

# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk thoroughly until the sauce is uniform and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
02 -
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Lay each flour tortilla flat on your work surface and gently spread one beef portion evenly across each tortilla, ensuring the surface is entirely covered.
03 -
Sprinkle the beef layer on each tortilla with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste preference.
04 -
Preheat a large skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the surface with neutral oil to achieve an even coating.
05 -
Carefully place a tortilla with beef side down onto the hot skillet. Press lightly with a spatula to form a thin patty. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until a golden-brown crust develops.
06 -
Flip the tortilla so it is beef side up, then place a slice of American cheese over the cooked beef. Continue cooking for an additional 1 to 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the tortilla to reach desired crispness without burning.
07 -
Transfer the finished smash burger taco to a plate. Repeat the cooking process for each remaining tortilla and beef portion.
08 -
Top each smash taco with prepared burger sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, diced onion, and dill pickle chips. Serve promptly while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure the beef is pressed thinly and the skillet is sufficiently hot to achieve a crispy crust.
