Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

8 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (at least 95% lean)

1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, or more for topping

2 tbsp. finely chopped onion

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. onion powder

4 street-taco-sized corn or flour tortillas

1/2 cup shredded lettuce

1/4 cup chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped dill pickles, or more for topping

1 tbsp. ketchup

2 tsp. yellow mustard

Optional topping: sesame seeds

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine beef, cheese, onion, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Press one fourth of the meat mixture onto each tortilla.

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Place two of the tortillas in the skillet, side by side and meat-sides down. Using a spatula, smash the tortillas flat into the pan. Cook until meat is fully cooked, about 4 minutes.

Flip tortillas. Cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Clean skillet, if needed. Respray, and return to medium heat. Repeat with remaining two meat-topped tortillas.

Top evenly with remaining ingredients. Fold to form tacos.
