Blackstone Smashed Tacos

1. Heat a Blackstone griddle or similar flat-top to medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
2. Divide the 1 lb ground beef into 6 equal balls.
3. Generously season each beef ball with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
4. Place a beef ball on the hot griddle and use a spatula or burger press to smash it very thin.
5. Cook the smashed beef for 2–3 minutes until it's browned and crispy on the edges.
6. Flip the beef patty so the cooked beef side is down.
7. Immediately add shredded cheese on top of the beef.
8. Press a small tortilla firmly on top of the cheese.
9. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the tortilla to crisp slightly.
10. Remove the smashed taco from the griddle.
11. Top with chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and your sauce of choice (such as Chipotle sauce). Enjoy immediately!
