In N Out Smashburger Tacos
When you’re craving In-N-Out, but the closest one is a 2-days drive away, so you make these In-N-Out Smashburger Tacos that are made healthier and wayyy tastier 😋
Using my legit new favorite hot sauces – Mezzetta Mediterranean Pepperoncini (*chefs kiss*) & their Calabrian Chili for extra spice 🤌🏼

How to Make a Healthier In N Out Sauce?
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp. Mezzetta Pepperoncini Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp. Mezzetta Calabrian Chili Hot Sauce, or to taste
- 1/3 cup Grated Pickles
- 1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
How to make it:
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt, hot sauces, grated pickles, and Dijon.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Optional: Add pickle juice to taste.

How to Make Quick Caramelized Onions:
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add the butter and finely diced onions.
- Sauté until caramelized and deeply golden.
- To help speed up the process, you can add a small dash of water every 5 minutes or so, until the water has been fully absorbed.
What to Serve with Smashburger Tacos:
- Potatoes Salad
- French Fries
- Baked Beans
- Quinoa Salad
- Sweet Potato Fries
- Grilled Vegetables
- Mac N Cheese
- Grilled Corn
- Creamy Coleslaw
- Arugula Salad

Can you Prep Smashburger Tacos in Advance?
Yes, you could prep the sauce, caramelized onions, and (uncooked) beef-tortillas the day before. I recommend placing the beef-tortillas on a layer parchment lined baking tray and covering tightly with Saran Wrap before placing in the fridge. The caramelized onions will need to be reheated on the stovetop for 4-5 minutes with a splash of water. Cook the beef-tortillas as instructed below when ready to serve. Yum!!

How to Store Leftover Smashburger Tacos? How to Reheat?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 400F for 5-6 minutes, or tortilla-side down on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes over medium high heat with olive oil (until tortilla is crispy again).
