Ingredients

• 400 g Extra‑Lean Beef Mince (80% lean, preferably grass‑fed)
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion Powder
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 Onion (Half a medium onion, diced finely for the meat mixture)
• 4 Mini Tortillas (6‑inch flour or corn mini‑tortillas)
• 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (Sharp cheddar, sliced thin)
• 1 cup Lettuce (Shredded iceberg or romaine)
• 0.25 Red Onion (Thinly sliced for topping)
• 4 slices Pickles (Dill pickle slices)

Instructions

1. Season the Beef

   Place the 400 g of extra‑lean beef mince into a mixing bowl. Add black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and the half diced onion. Mix gently until just combined; avoid over‑mixing.

   Time: PT5M

2. Form Meat Bowls

   Divide the seasoned meat into four equal portions and shape each into a shallow bowl or patty about the size of a mini tortilla.

   Time: PT3M

3. Prep Toppings

   While the meat rests, shred the lettuce, thinly slice the remaining red onion, and set pickle slices and burger sauce within easy reach.

   Time: PT5M

4. Heat the Skillet

   Place the skillet over high heat and let it become very hot (around 200‑220 °C).

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: high heat

5. Smash the Meat onto Tortillas

   Lay one mini tortilla in the skillet, then place a meat bowl on top. Using the spatula, press the meat down firmly so it spreads thinly across the tortilla, about 2‑3 mm thick.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: high heat

6. Cook First Side

   Let the meat cook for about 45 seconds, then press down again with the spatula to ensure crispness.

   Time: PT45S

   Temperature: high heat

7. Flip and Finish

   Flip the taco and cook the other side for another 45 seconds until the bottom is crisp. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top and cover the pan for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

   Time: PT1M30S

   Temperature: high heat

8. Assemble the Tacos

   Remove the taco from the pan and immediately top with shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, pickle slice, and a drizzle of burger sauce. Repeat for the remaining three tacos.
