Description

Indulge in the ultimate fusion of flavors with these mouthwatering Street Corn Smash Burger Tacos. Juicy smash burger patties are topped with tangy street corn, shredded lettuce, and a creamy chipotle sauce, all nestled in soft tortilla shells for a delightful handheld meal.


Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

– 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

– 1/4 cup mayonnaise

– 2 tablespoons lime juice

– 1 teaspoon chili powder

– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

– 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

– 8 small flour tortillas

– 1 cup shredded lettuce


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the salt and pepper until just combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into thin patties.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the thawed corn kernels, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well and set aside.

3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the beef patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are crispy and cooked through.

4. Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.

5. To assemble the tacos, place a beef patty in each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of the street corn mixture, followed by shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

6. Serve the Street Corn Smash Burger Tacos immediately, while the patties are hot and the flavors are perfectly balanced.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise or hot sauce to the tacos. You can also experiment with different toppings, such as diced onions, fresh cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.
