Preheat a hot griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and grab a spatula or burger press.
Divide your ground beef into equal portions – about 2 oz each. Roll into balls and season with salt and pepper.
Place a ball onto one flour tortilla, cover with parchment paper or wax paper and pat down and around until the tortilla is evenly covered in beef.
Place the tortilla meat side down on the hot skillet.
Let the meat mixture cook for 1-2 minutes until crispy, pressing down with the spatula.
Flip carefully so it’s tortilla side down.
Add a slice of cheese to the beef side, cover if needed to help the cheese melt, and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining burger patties.
Top with shredded lettuce, onion, special sauce, and sweet relish or pickles.
Fold into a taco and enjoy!

Makes 8 tacos - 2 per serving.
Preheat your pan well – A hot pan is key to getting that beautiful sear and crispy crispy tortillas.

Use a burger press – It makes getting that thin layer of beef super easy, and helps with even cooking.

Customize your toppings – From yellow mustard to pickle juice, let everyone build their own with their favorite toppings.

Try corn tortillas – If you're feeling adventurous, swap in corn tortillas for a bit of that street taco flair.

Store leftovers – If you somehow have extras (ha!), pop them in an airtight container. Reheat in the air fryer to get them nice and crispy again.
