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
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering everything on the counter.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until evenly combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Form seasoned beef into patties and sear until browned on both sides.
- Once nearly cooked through, top each patty with shredded cheese. Cover with a lid until the cheese melts (about 1-2 minutes).
- In another skillet or griddle over medium heat, toast tortillas until golden brown and crispy.
- 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.'
