🛒 Ingredients
Beef
- 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
- 1 tbsp Blackstone Burger Seasoning (or your favorite burger seasoning)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Tortillas
- 8 street taco flour tortillas
Cheese
- 8 slices American cheese
Toppings

👨🍳 Directions
1. Preheat the Blackstone
Heat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high.
2. Prepare the Beef
Divide the ground beef into eight equal portions (about 4 ounces each).
Gently press each portion onto a tortilla, spreading the beef into a thin, even layer that reaches almost to the edges.
Season generously with your favorite burger seasoning.
3. Smash & Cook
Place the tortilla beef-side down onto the hot griddle.
Using a burger press or sturdy spatula, firmly press for 10–15 seconds.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the beef develops a deep brown crust.
4. Flip
Flip the taco so the tortilla is now on the griddle.
Immediately place one slice of American cheese on the burger.
Cook another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes lightly toasted.
5. Build
Remove from the griddle.
Top with:
- Shredded lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Pickles
- Onions
- Burger sauce
Fold and serve immediately.
🌟 Bright Spots Pro Tip
Use 80/20 ground beef. The extra fat creates that classic smash burger crust while keeping every bite juicy and flavorful.
Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that’s so simple you wonder why you hadn’t tried it sooner.
That’s exactly what happened the first time I made Smash Burger Tacos on the Blackstone.
You still get everything that makes a smash burger incredible—the crispy edges, juicy beef, melted American cheese, and all your favorite burger toppings—but instead of a bun, it’s wrapped inside a warm tortilla that’s toasted right on the griddle.
The result is one of the best handheld meals you’ll ever make.
The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity. By pressing seasoned ground beef directly onto the tortilla, every bite is packed with flavor. The beef develops that signature smash burger crust while the tortilla gets perfectly toasted, creating an amazing combination of crispy, juicy, and cheesy in every bite.
Finish it with crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, crunchy pickles, diced onions, and a homemade burger sauce, and you’ve got a recipe that’s guaranteed to disappear fast.
Whether you’re making dinner for the family, hosting friends for game day, or just looking for something new to cook on your Blackstone, these Smash Burger Tacos are always a crowd favorite.
They’re quick to make, fun to eat, and loaded with bold burger flavor.
Fire up the Blackstone and give them a try.
I have a feeling they’ll earn a permanent spot on your menu.
Until the next one… we’ll see ya.
