Taco Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Beef
  • 5 Slices Cheese
  • Pickles
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Cup Shredded Lettuce
  • 5 Tortillas

Burger Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Pickle Relish
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Grated Onion
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Yellow Mustard
  • 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Honey

Instructions
 

  • Let's start with the special sauce! In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickle relish, grated onion, mustard, and vinegar. Use a whisk or spoon to mix these wet ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • Add the seasonings of paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix the seasonings in, as well as the honey.
  • Prepare a taco assembly station, complete with lettuce, pickles, onions, and creamy sauce.
  • Divide the ground beef into 4-5 equal sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a thin hamburger patty.
  • Heat a frying pan up to medium heat, and place each hamburger patty in the pan individually. Cook the first side of the patty for about 2-3 minutes, or until properly browned and charred.
  • Flip the patty over, and place a tortilla on the upward-facing cooked side. Press down hard with the back of the burger flipper on the tortilla and patty, flattening the patty out more.
  • Let this second side of the burger patty cook for 2 minutes before flipping back onto the side that now has a tortilla pressed into it. This lets the tortilla warm up and become crispy.
  • While the tortilla side of the patty is face down on the pan, add the slice of cheese so that it can melt.
  • Remove the tortilla and patty from the pan and place on a plate. Top first with the pickles, then with shredded lettuce and onions.
  • Drizzle the burger sauce on top, fold the tortilla and patty upwards into a taco shape, and enjoy!
