02 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
04 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
05 - ½ teaspoon onion powder

13 - ¼ cup sliced dill pickles
14 - ¼ cup diced red onion
15 - ¼ cup burger sauce

# Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef, breaking up chunks with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue cooking until beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
02 - Stir ketchup and yellow mustard into the cooked beef. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to blend flavors. Remove skillet from heat and set beef mixture aside.
03 - Clean the skillet, then add a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat over medium flame.
04 - Place one tortilla in the skillet, layer with a slice of cheddar cheese, then a generous spoonful of the beef mixture. Fold the tortilla in half, gently pressing to seal. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and cheese melts. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
05 - Fill each cooked taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, and red onion. Drizzle burger sauce over the top.
06 - Serve tacos hot and enjoy immediately.
