Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces 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
 

Preparation

  • Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
  • Spread one portion of beef over each tortilla, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with oil.

Cooking

  • Cook each tortilla meat-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Flip and add cheese; cook for another 1-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat and repeat for remaining tacos.

Assembly

  • Assemble tacos with sauce, lettuce, onions, and pickles.

Notes

Press hard on the meat for better texture and don't be afraid of splatter. The first taco might be a trial run, and cheese timing is key—add it when you flip the taco for optimal melting.
