Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños (optional)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chipotle sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything on the counter.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground beef with paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until evenly combined.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Form seasoned beef into patties and sear until browned on both sides.
  4. Once nearly cooked through, top each patty with shredded cheese. Cover with a lid until the cheese melts (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. In another skillet or griddle over medium heat, toast tortillas until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Assemble each burger by placing a cheesy patty between two crispy tortillas along with chipotle mayo and fresh toppings. Gently press down to create the 'smash.'
