02 -
8 flour taco shells
03 -
8 slices American cheese

04 -
1/4 cup sliced dill pickles

10 -
2 teaspoons confectioners Swerve sweetener
11 -
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until very hot to ensure crispy, caramelized beef edges.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, smoked paprika, white vinegar, and Swerve sweetener until smooth; set aside.
03 -
Dice onions, slice pickles, and shred lettuce, arranging each separately for quick assembly.
04 -
Divide ground beef into eight equal portions. On the hot griddle, press each ball flat with a spatula or burger press. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes until edges crisp, flip, add American cheese slice, and cook one additional minute until melted.
05 -
Place each flour tortilla on the griddle and heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted to prevent tearing.
06 -
Place a cheesy burger patty on each warmed tortilla. Top with diced onion, sliced pickles, and drizzle generously with prepared sauce. Add shredded lettuce for freshness if desired.
07 -
Enjoy immediately while cheese is melted and toppings are crisp; ideal paired with sweet potato fries or fresh salad.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Press patties thinly for optimal crispy edges and caramelization.
02 -
Heat tortillas just before assembly to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
03 -
Store cooked components separately refrigerated; reheat beef and tortillas before assembly to avoid sogginess.
