🥒🌮 Smashburger Tacos with Spicy Garlic Dill
If burgers and tacos had a backyard cookout together, this would be the result. Crispy-edged seasoned beef gets smashed right onto a tortilla, topped with melty cheese, a drizzle of tangy pickle sauce, and a generous handful of Tommy Pickles Spicy Garlic Dill. The pickles bring the crunch, the garlic brings the flavor, and the spicy brine ties everything together.
Messy? A little. Worth it? Every single bite.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Smashburger Tacos
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded American or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of Tommy Pickles Spicy Garlic Dill pickles, chopped
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder

🧑 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dressing (5 Minutes)
- Stir together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle brine, chopped pickles, and black pepper.
- Pop it in the fridge while everything else cooks.

🔥 Why Tommy Pickles Makes This Recipe
A cheeseburger taco is good. A cheeseburger taco loaded with Tommy Pickles Spicy Garlic Dill is the reason people ask for the recipe.
The garlic packs every bite with flavor, the spicy kick keeps things interesting, and that cold, crunchy pickle cuts through the rich beef and melty cheese like it was made for it. Don't toss the brine either—it turns an ordinary burger sauce into something you'll want on everything.
