Description
Delicious mini tacos filled with seasoned ground beef and topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8–10 mini tacos
- 10 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- to taste Salt
- ½ cup caramelized onions
- 3 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp pickle juice or rice vinegar
- 1–2 tbsp caramelized onions
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- to taste Salt
Instructions
- Form small balls of ground beef. Place each one inside a tortilla and press it down to smash the beef thinly across the surface of the tortilla. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tacos beef-side down in the pan and press gently so the meat makes full contact with the surface. Cook until browned and crispy. Flip and immediately top with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook until the tortilla is golden and the cheese melts.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the sauce inside each taco, then add chopped lettuce and caramelized onions. Fold in half and serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less chili powder.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
