Viral One-Pan Baked Dumplings are a creative fusion of crispy smash burger flavor and taco convenience. Each tortilla is pressed over a juicy ground beef patty, then cooked until golden and finished with cheese, a tangy burger sauce, and classic toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef, 80/20 fat percentage
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 10 cracks fresh black pepper
  • 6 (six-inch) flour tortillas
  • 6 slices muenster or provolone cheese
  • Shredded lettuce (for topping)
  • Chopped white onion (for topping)
  • Dill pickle chips (for topping)
  • Burger Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons minced bread & butter pickles
  • 1 tablespoon pickle brine
  • 10 cracks fresh black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Add all burger sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use; can be made 3 days in advance.
  2. Mix the salt and pepper together. Evenly distribute over the top and bottom of the ground beef. Divide and roll beef into 2 1/2 ounce balls, handling gently. Place each ball on a plate and refrigerate until the griddle is preheated.
  3. Preheat a flat top or griddle on high heat (ungreased) until smoking hot.
  4. Place each beef ball on the hot surface and set a tortilla on top. Use a smashing tool to press down very firmly on each tortilla, smashing the meat as thin as possible. Let cook for 1 minute, then press down again to release some fat. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until patties are cooked through.
  5. Use a stiff spatula to scrape underneath the burgers to check for a browned, crispy crust. If not crispy, increase the heat. Once browned, flip so the tortilla side is down and cook about 2 more minutes to crisp the tortilla. Top with cheese to melt.
  6. Remove from the griddle, add burger sauce, lettuce, onion, and pickles. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use flour tortillas for best results—they stick to the beef and get crispy.
  • Do not grease the griddle for extra crispiness.
  • Make the burger sauce up to three days ahead to save time.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings or cheese types.
