Crispy corn tortillas topped with ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a yummy sauce!
Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 90/10
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- 8 slices American cheese singles
- 3 tablespoons light mayo 45g
- 1.5 tablespoons ketchup 30g
- 2 teaspoons mustard 10g
- 2 tablespoons minced pickles 20g
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar or pickle juice
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper
Optional toppings:
- lettuce
- tomatoes
- avocado
- pickles
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl combine the mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickles, vinegar, and garlic powder.
- Heat up a large pan or flat top grill to medium high.
- Lay out 8 tortillas on a flat surface. Press 2 ounces of ground beef onto the top of each tortilla, covering almost the whole surface space of the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place each taco ground beef side down on your grill or in your pan. Cook until no longer pink and flip. Place 1 slice of cheese on top of the beef. Cook until tortilla is crispy and cheese is melted.
- Top each taco with 13g of sauce (about 1 tablespoon) and any additional toppings you like. We do lettuce, tomatoes, and extra pickles.
Notes
I've found that smashing the ground beef right onto the tortilla is the easiest method when cooking at home in the kitchen. It's fun to smash them when using an outdoor grill and you have plenty of space, but indoors I prefer pre smashing.
These shouldn't be super greasy. If you're using a lean ground beef (90/10 or 96/4) they cook perfectly.
