Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 8 small taco-sized tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or burger sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the tacos from becoming greasy.
- Season and Simmer: Add taco seasoning and water according to the package instructions. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, gently warm the tortillas until they are pliable—this makes folding them over the filling a breeze!
- Assemble the Tacos: Place a few spoonfuls of the cheeseburger mixture on each tortilla, allowing the savory flavors to shine.
- Top with Flavor: Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and a drizzle of mayonnaise or burger sauce.
- Fold and Serve: Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately. Garnish with lettuce if desired for that fresh crunch.
Notes
Can be customized with various toppings. Great to serve with tortilla chips and salsa.
