Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices American cheese
- ¾ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup dill pickle chips
- ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for skillet)
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Make the special sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until creamy and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Prepare the tacos: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Press a thin, even layer of beef onto one side of each tortilla, and season them with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef: Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the tortillas beef-side down into the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the beef is golden brown.
- Flip & add cheese: Flip the tacos over and add a slice of American cheese to each. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the cheese is beautifully melted.
- Assemble: Remove the tacos from the skillet and layer with shredded lettuce, dill pickle chips, and chopped onions. Drizzle the special sauce over the top for that creamy finish.
- Serve: Fold the tacos in half, serve immediately, and enjoy the warm crunch and melty goodness!
