→ For Cooking
11 -
Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for the pan
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for several seconds until pliable and soft.
02 -
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Apply a light coat of cooking spray or oil. Place a portion of ground beef onto the hot surface and position a tortilla over the beef. Use a spatula or heavy press to firmly flatten the beef beneath the tortilla.
03 -
Allow the beef side to cook against the skillet for approximately 3 minutes until a deep golden crust forms.
04 -
Turn the tortilla so the beef faces upward, then immediately top with one slice of American cheese. Let the cheese melt for 1 to 2 minutes.
05 -
Remove from the skillet, layering each with shredded lettuce, diced pickles, diced onion, and a generous drizzle of burger sauce.
06 -
Fold tacos and serve promptly while warm.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For even melting, place a lid over the pan after adding cheese. Use freshly shredded lettuce to preserve crisp texture.
