→ Sauce Ingredients
09 -
1/2 cup ketchup
10 -
1/2 cup mayonnaise
11 -
1/4 cup sweet relish
12 -
1/8 cup white onion, finely diced
13 -
1 tsp white distilled vinegar
14 -
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
15 -
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
# Instructions:
01 -
Divide ground beef into 6 equal portions. Press each portion onto a flour tortilla, spreading it into a thin, even layer covering the tortilla. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place each tortilla meat-side down in the skillet. Press down firmly with a spatula, starting in the center and working outward. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip. Top each with a slice of cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla crisps up.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, sweet relish, finely diced onion, vinegar, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
04 -
Remove tacos from the skillet. Top with shredded lettuce, pickles, diced onions, and a drizzle of the special sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Crispier Tortillas: Pressing the meat down evenly helps it cook faster and crisp up perfectly.
02 -
Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or spicy pickles for extra heat.
03 -
Make-Ahead Sauce: The sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
