Instructions

  1. Street Corn Topping

    Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the corn and allow it to cook stirring frequently until it starts to char and get some color, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool.

  2. Creamy Jalapeno Sauce

    In a food processor, purée cilantro leaves with the pickled jalapenos and 2 tbsp of their juice. Put the mayo and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Add ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well. Pour cilantro mixture into the sour cream mixture. Add lime juice and buttermilk if needed.

  3. Cook the Smash Burgers

    Separate the hamburger meat into portions and press into tortilla shells. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on a griddle, pressing firmly, for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add Toppings

    Top the smash burgers with street corn, creamy jalapeno sauce, hot sauce, and cheese.

Notes

  • You can customize these tacos with additional toppings like avocado, diced tomatoes, or salsa.
  • Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the jalapeno sauce to suit your taste preferences.
