Description

A delightful twist on classic burgers, combining juicy beef and melted cheddar in crispy tortillas for a cozy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Seasoning of choice (like taco seasoning or a favorite burger blend)
  • 2 tbsp oil for greasing the cooking surface
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp pickle relish
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Tomato, diced
  • Pickles, sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, and relish to create the sauce.
  2. Preheat a Blackstone griddle, cast-iron skillet, or a regular pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Divide the raw ground beef into six equal parts. Gently smash the beef down onto the tortillas, covering the surface.
  4. Sprinkle your seasoning of choice over the beef.
  5. Grease your cooking surface with oil.
  6. Place the tortillas down onto the cooking surface with the beef side down. Cook for approximately 2 minutes.
  7. Flip the tortillas and immediately sprinkle the beef with shredded cheese. Cook for an additional 1-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, add desired toppings, fold like a taco, and serve.

Notes

Customize tacos with toppings like jalapeños, avocado, crispy bacon, or sautéed veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
