Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together all burger sauce ingredients; set aside.
Shape ground beef into six loosely packed 2–3 oz balls; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a flat griddle or heavy skillet over medium‑high heat.
Place 1 beef ball on the hot surface, then immediately lay a tortilla over it. Press down firmly with a spatula or burger press to flatten.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until edges are crisp, then flip so tortilla side cooks on griddle.
Place a cheese slice on the patty side, cook another 2 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla crisps.
Transfer taco to plate; top with lettuce, pickles, onions, and burger sauce.
Fold and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Use higher‑fat beef (80/20) for juiciness and crisp.
Press firmly to get a well‑seared edge and help tortilla stick.
