Greek Smash Tacos + Tzatiki
Our flavor-packed Gyro Smash Burger Tacos are perfect for a delicious Blackstone dinner on a summer night!
Ingredients
Lamb Smash Burgers:
- 1 pound ground lamb*
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Toppings:
- 6 flour street taco tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/4 cup red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- tzatziki sauce regular or dairy-free
Instructions
- Make Burger Balls: Put all of the burger ingredients in a large bowl and mix to fully combine. Divide the mixture into 6 equal-sized balls and set aside.
- Prep Other Ingredients: Make sure you have the tortillas and toppings prepped and ready before starting to cook. The cook time goes super fast, so having everything prepped is a must!
- Cook Patties + Toast Tortillas: Preheat the flat top griddle to a medium-high heat. Place balls on the hot flat top, with enough room in between for smashing. Place a piece of parchment paper on a ball and use a burger press to slowly press down and flatten it as much as you can. Let sit and cook for the next 40 seconds. Flip the burger and put a tortilla on the cooktop next to it. Close the lid and let the burger cook for 1-2 minutes. Continue this process with all the burgers.
- Remove: Open the lid and flip the tortillas over. Use a large spatula to lift a patty and place on a tortilla. Transfer the whole thing to a plate. Continue until all of the smash burger tacos are cooked and placed on a plate.
- Serve: Enjoy all of the tacos with your desired toppings!

Notes
- *Ground Meat: feel free to use ground turkey or chicken here!
- Dairy Free: use a dairy-free tzatziki sauce and either omit the feta cheese or use a dairy-free alternative (there are plenty of great options out there now!).
- Gluten-Free: swap out that flour tortilla for a small corn tortilla if you need to!
