# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Split your beef into 6 equal chunks. Flatten each chunk onto a flour tortilla, making sure it's thin and covers the whole surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
02 -
Warm up a big skillet on medium heat. Drop each tortilla with the meat facing down. Push hard with your spatula from the middle outward. Let cook for 4 minutes, then flip over. Add a cheese slice on top and cook another 2-3 minutes until cheese gets melty and edges get crunchy.
03 -
Grab a small bowl and stir together the ketchup, mayo, relish, tiny onion bits, vinegar, black pepper, and paprika until it's all blended.
04 -
Take the tacos off the heat. Add some lettuce, pickle slices, onion chunks, and a good splash of your mixed sauce. Serve them while they're hot for the best taste!
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Better Crunch: Smashing the meat flat helps it cook quicker and makes the edges extra crispy.
02 -
Heat Option: Throw in some hot sauce or spicy pickle slices if you want more kick.
03 -
Early Prep: You can mix up the sauce a week before and keep it in your fridge.
