Ingredients
Scale

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 small onion, finely diced

- 2 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
- Pickles (optional)

- Season the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and crispy on the edges.
- Add a spoonful of diced onion on top of the beef while cooking (optional).
- Place one tortilla over the smashed beef and press gently so it sticks.

- Slice into wedges and drizzle with smash sauce. Add pickles or shredded lettuce if desired.
