Description

A fun twist on classic burgers and tacos, featuring crispy tortillas, juicy beef, and melted cheese for a delightful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas (6 inches)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • Dill pickle chips
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
  2. Spread one portion of beef over each tortilla, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
  4. Cook each tortilla meat-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Flip the tortillas and add a slice of cheese to each. Cook for another 1-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from heat and repeat the process for the remaining tacos.
