Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

For the Smash Tacos:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 12 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Lime wedges for serving

For the Optional Toppings:

• Sliced jalapeños
• Sliced avocado or guacamole
• Sour cream
• Salsa
• Hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare Blackstone Griddle:
   • Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
2. Cook Ground Beef:
   • In a skillet or on a portion of the griddle, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
3. Season Beef:
   • Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked ground beef. Add water and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the beef is coated in seasoning.
4. Smash Tortillas:
   • Place the corn tortillas on the griddle in a single layer. Using a spatula or press, lightly smash each tortilla to flatten it slightly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly charred and heated through.
5. Assemble Tacos:
   • Remove the tortillas from the griddle and place them on a serving platter. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef.
6. Add Toppings:
   • Top each taco with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and chopped fresh cilantro.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the Blackstone smash tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
8. Optional Toppings:
   • Set out additional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, sliced avocado or guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and hot sauce for guests to customize their tacos according to their preferences.
9. Enjoy:
   • Enjoy these delicious and customizable Blackstone smash tacos as a fun and flavorful meal for any occasion!

Note: Feel free to customize the toppings and seasonings to suit your taste preferences. You can also use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas if desired.
