Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
4 small flour or low-carb tortillas
4 slices American cheese
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
1/4 cup dill pickles, sliced
1 tbsp butter or oil (for the skillet)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Burger Sauce:
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp relish or minced pickles
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
Instructions
1. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, minced pickles, and yellow mustard until smooth. Set aside.
2. Prep the Meat: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Season each portion generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Smash onto Tortillas: Press a portion of the seasoned raw beef firmly and thinly across one half of each tortilla, spreading it right out to the edges so it adheres.
4. Sear in the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat with a little butter or oil. Place the tacos beef-side down directly onto the hot surface. Press down firmly with a spatula and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until the beef is deeply browned and crispy.
5. Flip & Melt Cheese: Flip the tacos over. Lay a slice of American cheese directly on top of the hot beef patty. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
6. Assemble & Serve: Remove the tacos from the skillet. Open them up slightly to add a drizzle of the special burger sauce, diced onions, and pickle slices. Fold closed, press gently, and serve hot!
