Prepare the Big‑Mac‑style sauce

Time: PT5M
Form the smash meat on tortillas
Place a small flour tortilla on a clean surface. Put about ¼ lb of ground beef onto the center, then press it flat with a spatula or a tortilla press so it covers most of the tortilla. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
Time: PT2M
Sear the meat side down
Heat the skillet over medium‑high heat until hot. Add the prepared tortilla‑meat assembly, meat side down, and cook for 2–3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: 375°F
Melt the cheese
Flip the tortilla (optional) or simply place a slice of American cheese on top of the meat. Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: 375°F
Assemble and serve
Spread a generous spoonful of the prepared sauce over the tortilla. Add the cooked meat with melted cheese, then top with shredded lettuce, diced pickles, and optional red onion. Serve immediately while hot.
Time: PT5M
