Ingredients

For the Sauce

½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup dill pickle relish
2 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ teaspoon paprika powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the Burgers

1 lbs. ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small flour tortillas
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking oil for frying

Toppings

¾ cup dill pickle slices
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
¼ cup chopped onions

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully blended. Set the sauce aside.
Seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper then divide it into 8 equal portions and shape into balls. Press each meatball down on a tortilla and flatten out to cover the enter of the tortilla. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about a tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Place a tortilla in the skillet with the meat side facing down. Use a spatula or another flat tool to press the beef down so it gets a nice sear. Cook the burger on one side for about 2 minutes or until the beef is browned. Flip the tortilla and burger over then sprinkle the top of the meat with cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the burger is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the smash burger from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat this process with all 8 tacos. Assemble the tacos by sprinkling onions, lettuce pickles and sauce over the burger meat. Fold the tortilla in half, creating a taco and serve immmediately.

Notes

Larger tortillas can be used but there will only be enough meat for about six tacos.

You can top these with any type of toppings you like. Some suggestions are chopped tomatoes, salsa, other shredded cheese, or anything that goes on tacos or burgers.
