Steps
- 1
Lay the 10 mini flour tortillas flat on a work surface. Divide the ground beef into portions of 2–3 tablespoons each and place one portion on each tortilla.
- 2
Press each portion of beef over its tortilla to create an even, thin layer.
- 3
Top the beef on each tortilla with the thinly sliced yellow onion and jalapeños. Season with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
- 4
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the tortillas in the pan with the meat side down.
- 5
Cook the tacos for 3–5 minutes, pressing them down as they cook, until the beef is cooked through.
- 6
Flip the tacos and cook the tortilla side until it is crispy and golden.
- 7
Place a cheddar cheese slice on the meat side of each taco and let the cheese melt.
- 8
Make the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped relish, pickle juice, diced onion, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper powder, smoked paprika powder, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- 9
Serve the tacos immediately with the chopped lettuce, seeded chopped tomato, and sauce.
