# Components:

→ Beef

01 - 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
02 - 1 tsp kosher salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
05 - ½ tsp onion powder
06 - 1 tbsp ketchup
07 - 1 tbsp yellow mustard

→ Tortillas and Cheese

08 - 8 small flour tortillas (6-inch)

→ Toppings

11 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
12 - 1 large tomato, diced
13 - ¼ cup dill pickles, sliced

15 - ¼ cup burger sauce

# Directions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
02 - When beef is fully browned (about 5–7 minutes), stir in ketchup and mustard. Cook an additional 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
03 - Wipe the skillet clean, then heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a thin layer.
04 - Place a tortilla in the skillet, top with one slice of cheese and a generous spoonful of seasoned beef. Fold the tortilla in half and press gently to seal. Cook 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
05 - Fill each cooked taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, and diced red onion. Drizzle with burger sauce.
06 - Serve the tacos hot for optimal flavor.
