Steps

1. 1

   Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, finely diced pickles, finely diced onion, SPG seasoning, and paprika to make the special burger sauce. Refrigerate it until the tacos are ready to serve.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil, then add the finely diced onion. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. 3

   Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Break it into chunks, then let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes so it can develop some crust.

4. 4

   Continue breaking up the beef as it cooks. Add the SPG rub, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, yellow mustard, ketchup, and finely diced pickles. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Continue cooking and mixing every few minutes until the beef is cooked to your liking. Set the beef mixture aside.

6. 6

   Heat another large skillet over medium-low heat and spray it with avocado oil. Place a tortilla in the skillet.

7. 7

   Layer shredded cheddar cheese, the beef mixture, and more shredded cheddar cheese over the tortilla, then fold it closed.

8. 8

   Cook the taco for 2–3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture.

9. 9

   Plate the crispy cheeseburger tacos and serve with the chilled special burger sauce.
