Smashed Beef Tacos

Serves 2

This unique taste of Cheesy Beef Smash Tacos, where sizzling beef patties, seasoned and cooked until golden with a hint of char, find their home in warm tortillas and are layered with melt-in-your-mouth cheese. Topped with fresh avocado and crisp cabbage for a contrast of textures and a homemade pickled onion for a tangy kick, these tacos strike a perfect balance.
