Method

Make The Sauce

  • Mix in a bowl until smooth. Place into a bottle and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Season the beef

  • In a large bowl, combine the beef mince with garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper. Mix lightly until just combined — don’t overwork it.

Lay out your tortillas

  • Arrange all 10 tortillas on a clean surface, such as a bench or large board.

Portion & spread the beef

  • Divide the mince into 10 equal portions. Place one portion onto each tortilla, then spread it out evenly using your hands or a spatula. Push the beef right to the edges, keep it thin and uniform; full coverage ensures perfect adhesion during cooking. This guarantees the beef fuses to the tortilla in the pan. It’s okay to leave a small lip.

Cook

  • Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Spray the pan with oil and place each assembled taco in it, beef-side down. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the beef is browned and the edges are crispy beef sticks firmly to the tortilla

Flip and add cheese.

  • Flip the taco so the tortilla is now on the pan. Immediately add one slice of light cheese. Cook for one minute, until the cheese melts, the tortilla becomes golden, and lightly toasted. Remove and repeat for the remaining tacos.

Build the tacos.

  • Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced onion, diced pickles, and high-protein burger sauce. Serve immediately while crisp.
