Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 taco-sized tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American)
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- Ketchup and mustard to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and loosely form each into a ball, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place 2–4 beef balls in the hot skillet and immediately press each ball flat with a spatula to form thin patties. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a second skillet or quickly in the microwave until pliable, keeping them covered to stay warm.
- Place a cooked patty on each warmed tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
- Serve immediately on a platter, allowing everyone to assemble their own tacos.
Notes
Keep toppings chilled until ready to maintain freshness. For a twist, add jalapeños or swap ketchup for BBQ sauce.
