This bold and smoky twist on a smash burger uses Did Someone Say Chipotle seasoning for the perfect balance of chipotle heat, garlic, and spices. Instead of a bun, these tacos start with a small flour tortilla, with a ball of seasoned ground beef placed directly on top. The meat is then smashed flat into the tortilla before being flipped and seared patty-side down on a hot griddle. The result? A crispy, caramelized beef patty fused to the tortilla, topped with melty cheese, creamy chipotle sauce, and crunchy toppings for the ultimate flavor-packed bite.
