Seasoned ground beef pressed onto tortillas, topped with cheese, fresh veggies, and tangy sauce.
# What You'll Need:
→ Taco Components
01 - 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
02 - 1 pound lean ground beef
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
04 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
05 - 4 slices American cheese or cheddar
→ Fresh Toppings
06 - 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
07 - 1/4 cup diced onion
08 - 8-12 dill pickle chips
→ Homemade Burger Sauce
09 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
10 - 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon sugar
13 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
14 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
15 - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
16 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Whisk together mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside for flavors to meld.
02 - Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 ounces each). Place each ball onto a flour tortilla and press firmly to flatten, spreading the meat thinly and evenly over one side of the tortilla.
03 - Generously season the exposed beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
05 - Place tortillas beef-side down in the hot skillet. Press down firmly with a spatula to ensure maximum contact with the cooking surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes until deeply browned and caramelized.
06 - Flip each taco so the tortilla side faces down. Immediately place a cheese slice on the beef. Cook 1-2 minutes until cheese is completely melted and tortilla is warmed through.
07 - Remove cooked tacos from skillet and repeat with remaining portions if cooking in batches.
08 - Spread a generous layer of burger sauce on each taco. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, and dill pickle chips. Serve immediately while hot.
