Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large Flour Tortillas (8‑inch diameter, soft)
• 8 oz Ground Beef (80% lean, 20% fat for juiciness)
• 1/2 tsp Salt (Kosher or table salt)
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground)
• 2 slices American Cheese Slices (Mild, pre‑sliced)
• 1/4 cup Shredded Lettuce (Iceberg or romaine)
• 1 medium Tomato (Thinly sliced)
• 4 slices Pickle Slices (Dill, thin)
• 2 tbsp Red Onion (Finely sliced)

• 3 tbsp Special Sauce (Mix 2 tbsp mayo, 1 tsp ketchup, 1 tsp yellow mustard, 1 tsp sweet pickle relish)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil (For pan‑frying)

Instructions

1. Prep All Toppings

   Wash and dry the lettuce, slice the tomato, pickles, and red onion thinly, and set aside in separate small bowls. Cook the frozen fries according to package directions, then drain and keep warm.

   Time: PT5M

2. Mix Special Sauce

   In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and sweet pickle relish. Stir until smooth.

   Time: PT2M

3. Assemble Raw Beef on Tortillas

   Lay the two flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle each tortilla with a pinch of salt and pepper, then place the 8 oz of ground beef directly onto the center of each tortilla, spreading it into a thin, even patty about the size of the tortilla.

   Time: PT2M

4. Cook the Beef‑Tortilla Patties

   Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Carefully place the tortillas meat‑side down into the hot pan. Cook for 3‑4 minutes, then flip the tortillas so the meat side is up and the tortilla side contacts the pan. Cover with a lid for an additional 2‑3 minutes to steam‑cook the meat through.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

5. Melt the Cheese

   When the meat is fully cooked (no pink inside, 160°F internal temperature), place one slice of American cheese on each tortilla‑meat patty. Cover the pan for 30 seconds until the cheese melts.

   Time: PT1M

6. Add Toppings and Sauce

   Remove the tortillas from the pan onto a plate. Spread 1½ tbsp of special sauce on each tortilla, then layer lettuce, tomato slices, pickle slices, onion, and a handful of warm fries. Fold the tortilla in half like a taco.

   Time: PT3M

7. Serve Immediately

   Serve the taco burgers hot with extra sauce on the side if desired.

   Time: PT1M
