Ingredients
Scale
For the Tacos
- 4 flour tortillas (6 inches)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
- 4 slices American cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 1 small onion, diced
- Dill pickle chips
- Shredded iceberg lettuce
Instructions
- Divide the beef: Separate the ground beef into 4 equal portions to ensure each taco is evenly filled.
- Form and season: Spread each portion of beef thinly and evenly over one side of each tortilla. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil, heating until shimmering.
- Cook beef side down: Place the tortillas in the skillet with the seasoned beef side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and add cheese: Carefully flip each tortilla so the tortilla is now in contact with the skillet. Quickly add a slice of cheese on the cooked beef side and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Repeat for all tacos: Remove each taco from the skillet once cheese has melted and repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas and beef portions.
- Assemble tacos: Top each taco with your preferred sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, diced onions, and dill pickle chips. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point for best results, such as canola or avocado oil.
- Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the beef to achieve a nice crust.
- Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite burger condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo.
- Cheese slices can be substituted with cheddar, pepper jack, or any melting cheese of your choice.
- For a crispier tortilla, briefly toast the tortilla side after flipping.
