Question

Accepted Answer

Most recipes call for 80/20 beef because grilled burgers need fat to hold the meat together, and it makes them really juicy and flavorful. In this recipe, the flour tortilla acts as a binder, so we don't need the fat for stability. Since smash tacos call for a thin burger patty, the juicy burger toppings balance the lean patty to create a seriously satisfying dish.
