Blackstone Tacos

Make juicy, seasoned Blackstone Tacos with sizzling ground beef, warm tortillas, and your favorite toppings—ready in minutes on the flat-top griddle. This easy, crowd-pleasing recipe is perfect for weeknights, camping, or tailgates and scales for a big batch.

Nothing beats taco night in our house and we love preparing Blackstone tacos so we can hang outside together while they cook! Taco seasoned ground beef gets a little extra flavor from salsa and you can add some heat with a spicy version.

We think what the kids love most about taco night is that they get to load up the taco shell with all of the things they like, leaving out anything they don’t particularly enjoy. Whether you are hosting at home or you’ve brought your Blackstone out to a tailgate party, these griddle tacos are going to be a big hit!
