Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 6 fajita-size flour tortillas
- 6 slices sharp Cheddar cheese or American cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup mayo (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (for sauce)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for sauce)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, pickles
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together mayo, ketchup, relish, paprika, and salt for the Quick Big Mac Sauce. Chill while preparing tacos.
- Preheat an electric griddle to 400°F or heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. If using stainless steel, add vegetable oil.
- Form cold ground beef into six balls (about 2-1/2 ounces each).
- Press each beef ball onto one side of a tortilla as thinly as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place beef-side down on the cooking surface; press firmly for about 5 seconds to form a crust. Cook for 2–3 minutes until browned.
- Flip the taco so the tortilla side is down; top with cheese and cover for about 1 minute until melted.
- Fold gently and serve immediately with sauce and desired toppings.
