Instructions:
- Prepare Blackstone Griddle:

- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- Add Toppings:
- Top each taco with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve:
- Serve the Blackstone smash tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
- Optional Toppings:
