INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 small flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (for topping)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Beef:
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Cook the Beef:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into balls. Place the balls in the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers, and sauté until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Cheese:
Once the burgers are flipped, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese for about 1-2 minutes. If using mozzarella, sprinkle it on top as well.
Warm the Tortillas:
In a dry skillet, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos:
Place a cheesy burger patty on each tortilla, top with the sautéed onions and bell peppers, and drizzle with mayonnaise.
Serve:
Fold the tortillas and enjoy your Philly Cheesesteak Smash Burger Tacos!
