Instructions

  1. Prepare the Street Corn: Sauté husked corn in olive oil until slightly charred. Mix with mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, zest, scallions, cheese, cilantro, diced jalapeno, chili powder, Tajin, and salt.
  2. Make the Creamy Jalapeno Ranch Sauce: Combine cilantro leaves, pickled jalapenos and juice, mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, lime juice, and buttermilk (if using) in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Cook the Smash Burgers: Form ground beef into balls and cook on a preheated skillet over medium-high heat. Press down to create thin patties; season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Warm tortillas and place one burger on each tortilla. Top generously with street corn mixture and drizzle with jalapeno ranch sauce. Fold and serve immediately.
