From chicken street tacos to fish tacos to buffalo chicken – these are the best griddle taco recipes to cook on the griddle or flat top grill. Taco Tuesday just got an upgrade with these Blackstone tacos.
If there’s one thing that gets me fired up to cook on the flat top just as much as a classic smash burger, it’s a really good taco. And I mean a REALLY good taco.
The Blackstone griddle is the perfect machine for taco night – you get that incredible sear on your meats, you can char your tortillas right on the griddle, and you can feed the whole crew without ever breaking a sweat.
We’re talking everything from the viral smash burger taco that broke the internet to a meatless potato taco that will have you questioning why you ever needed meat in the first place. I’ve got sizzling steak elote tacos, pineapple pork tacos with a homemade marinade, buffalo chicken tacos perfect for game day, and so much more.
These are the taco recipes I keep coming back to again and again, straight from my griddle to yours. So grab your spatulas, fire up that flat top, and let’s taco ’bout dinner!
1. Smash Burger Tacos
You guys already know how I feel about classic smash burgers – they’re the greatest. So when I heard about smash burger tacos, my mind was completely blown. You smash the beef right into the tortilla on a screaming hot griddle, and what comes off is this crispy, juicy, greasy hybrid that is truly the best of both worlds.
2. Easy Steak Elote Tacos with Mexican Street Corn
I love corn elotes, and I love a good griddle steak – so combining the two into a taco was honestly a no-brainer. The perfectly seared steak paired with that creamy, tangy Mexican street corn on top will have your tastebuds doing the salsa. This one is a serious Taco Tuesday upgrade.
3. Chicken Bacon Ranch Tacos
Tender juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and homemade ranch dressing piled high on crunchy taco shells – grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch is just a match made in heaven. This is an easy, family-friendly dinner that comes together on the griddle in under 35 minutes, and the kids go absolutely crazy for it.
4. Easy Chicken Street Tacos with Salsa Verde Crema
Sometimes you just want a classic street taco, and this recipe delivers in a big way. A simple homemade Mexican-style marinade gives the chicken that authentic, deep flavor, but the real star of the show is that vibrant salsa verde crema. It perfectly complements the heat and ties the whole thing together.
5. Mexican Potato Tacos (Tacos de Papas)
I know what you’re thinking – mashed potato tacos? Trust me on this one. Stuffed into a corn tortilla and crisped up golden on the flat top, these meatless tacos are an absolute revelation. They’re perfectly spicy, seriously comforting, and you won’t even miss the meat.
6. Pineapple Pork Tacos with Homemade Marinade
This is my tasty twist on the classic al pastor taco, and it is a straight-up flavor explosion. The homemade pineapple pepper marinade caramelizes beautifully on the hot griddle, giving the pork those incredible sweet, savory, charred edges that make street tacos so magical. This one is guaranteed to be your new favorite.
7. Easy Buffalo Chicken Tacos
Buffalo chicken and game day go together like peanut butter and jelly, and these tacos are my secret weapon when the big game rolls around. Shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch all come together in a perfectly crisped tortilla straight off the griddle. Easy on the wallet, easy to make, and absolutely fantastic.
8. Smashed Philly Cheesesteak Tacos
These Smashed Philly Cheesesteak Tacos are what happens when two of the greatest things in food collide – and trust me, the result is even better than you’re imagining. Fresh ground ribeye smashed right into a flour tortilla that crisps up in beef fat, loaded with sautéed peppers and onions, and finished with a quick three-ingredient homemade cheese sauce – this thing is absolutely unreal. It’s got all the soul of a classic Philly cheesesteak, but in taco form on the flat top, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser every single time.
9. Easy Fish Tacos On The Griddle
These Easy Fish Tacos On The Griddle are the perfect way to switch things up on taco night – light, fresh, and packed with flavor. I’m talking perfectly cooked halibut seared right on the flat top, topped with a homemade mango pico de gallo that brings those bright, citrusy summer vibes in every single bite. Trust me, once you try fish tacos this way, you’ll be hooked.
Whether you’re making tacos on the griddle every Tuesday or just firing up the flat top when the craving hits, the Blackstone is hands down the best way to get that restaurant-quality sear and flavor at home.
