Cheesy Beef BBQ Smash Tacos
Smashed burger technique meets hot-and-fast taco assembly for the ultimate BBQ crossover. Smashing the beef directly onto the wrap locks in the juices and creates those prized, crispy edges that standard taco cooking just can’t replicate.
Our Mild Taco Seasoning does the heavy lifting on flavour, keeping the prep fast and the reward huge. Flip it, melt the cheese, load your toppings, and you are good to go.
Smash tacos on the barbecue. You’re welcome.

Ingredients
500g of Mince of your choice (beef, chicken, turkey, or plant-based)
1 x pack of Mild Taco Seasoning
1 x pack of Soft Tacos, Corn Tortillas, Burrito Wraps or Fajita Wraps
Grated cheese (as much as you like)
Handful of Fresh coriander
Finely diced white onion
1 x Lime
How to make it
-
Prep the beef: Mix the ground beef with the Gran Luchito Mild Taco Seasoning, then roll into small, even balls.
-
The smash: Place a meat ball directly onto a Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wrap and press down firmly, smashing the beef flat out to the edges of the tortilla.
-
Sear on the BBQ: Lay the taco meat-side down directly onto a hot barbecue. Cook until the beef is deeply caramelised, crispy at the edges, and rendering fast.
-
Flip and melt: Flip the taco over so the tortilla rests on the grill, immediately cover the crispy beef with grated cheese, and allow it to melt completely.
-
Load and serve: Lift the taco from the barbecue and finish with sour cream, finely diced onion, fresh coriander, jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime.
