🛒 Ingredients:
- 500g ground beef
- 4 small tortillas (or 3 medium)
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 50g cheddar cheese, grated
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp dried origanum
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp butter
- Optional: 4 small pickles, lettuce leaves
Burger Sauce:
- 4 tbsp low-fat yogurt
- 1 tbsp reduced-sugar ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 small pickle, finely diced
- 1 tsp pickle juice
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
🔥 Instructions:
- Prepare the beef mixture:
In a bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, origanum, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. - Assemble the tacos:
Place each tortilla on a flat surface and spread an even layer of seasoned beef over one side of the wrap, pressing gently so it adheres. - Cook the tacos:
Heat a skillet (or use two pans for efficiency) over medium-high heat with coconut oil and butter.
Place the tortilla meat-side down and cook until the beef is well-browned and crispy. - Melt the cheese:
Flip the tortilla over. Sprinkle grated cheddar over the cooked beef, add a splash of water to the pan, and cover with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt while the tortilla crisps on the bottom. - Prepare the burger sauce:
Mix all burger sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. - Assemble and serve:
Top each taco with sliced tomato, pickles, and a generous drizzle of burger sauce. Add lettuce if desired.
Fold and enjoy immediately while hot and crispy.
