Tender seared beef on soft tortillas with cheese, crisp lettuce, pickles, onion, and tangy sauce.
# What You'll Need:
→ Taco Base
01 - 4 flour tortillas, 6-inch
02 - 1 pound lean ground beef
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
04 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil
05 - 4 slices American cheese
→ Fresh Toppings
06 - 0.5 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
07 - 0.25 cup diced onion
08 - 8 to 12 dill pickle chips
→ Homemade Burger Sauce
09 - 0.25 cup mayonnaise
10 - 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 teaspoon sugar
13 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
14 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
15 - 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
16 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside.
02 - Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions of approximately 4 ounces each. Place each portion onto a flour tortilla and press to flatten, spreading the beef thinly and evenly across one side of each tortilla.
03 - Season the beef layer with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and brush lightly with neutral oil.
05 - Working in batches if necessary, place tortillas beef-side down in the skillet. Press gently with a spatula to ensure good contact and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the beef is well-seared and deeply browned.
06 - Flip each taco so the tortilla sits on the bottom. Immediately top the seared beef with a slice of cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is warmed through.
07 - Transfer cooked tacos to a serving plate. Repeat searing and cheese-melting process with remaining tacos.
08 - Spread a spoonful of burger sauce on each taco. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, and dill pickle chips. Serve immediately.
