If you love pizza and tacos, these Pizza Smashburger Tacos are about to become one of your favorite meals to make on the Blackstone. They’re crispy, cheesy, and packed with all those familiar pizza flavors, but in taco form.
This is one of those recipes that looks impressive but is actually really easy to make, which makes it perfect for cooking at the campsite. The ground chicken cooks quickly on the griddle, the tortillas get perfectly golden, and the fresh pizza salad mix on top gives it a little crunch.
It’s also a fun meal to make when you have friends hanging around the campsite because everyone gets excited when they see smash tacos cooking on the Blackstone.
Instead of traditional taco toppings, these are finished with a pizza ranch salad mix, chopped pepperoni, and parmesan cheese, which gives them that pizza flavor while still keeping them fresh and crunchy.
Whether you’re cooking on the Blackstone at the campground or at home in your backyard, this recipe is an easy way to feed a group with something a little different.

How to Make Pizza Smashburger Tacos
1. Prepare the salad mix
In a bowl, mix together the pizza ranch salad kit according to the package directions. Add chopped pepperoni and toss to combine. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken
In a bowl, mix the ground chicken with Italian seasoning and grated parmesan cheese.
3. Form the smash burger balls
Roll the seasoned ground chicken into small balls that will fit the size of your tortillas.
4. Start cooking on the griddle
Heat your Blackstone or flat top griddle to medium-high and add a little oil.
Place the chicken balls onto the griddle and sprinkle a little more Italian seasoning on top. Smash them flat with your burger press (I especially love THIS ONE).
5. Add cheese and tortillas
Top each smashed chicken patty with a slice of mozzarella cheese and place a street taco tortilla on top.
6. Flip and toast
Flip the tacos so the tortilla side is on the griddle. Let the tortillas cook until they are golden and slightly crispy.
7. Assemble the tacos
Place the tacos into taco holders and top them with the pizza salad mix. Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
Tips for Cooking This on the Blackstone
Smash the chicken thin so it cooks quickly.
Let the tortilla cook long enough to get slightly crispy.
Use taco holders to make topping them easier.
