Table of Contents
Ingredients (Serves 1)
-
150g extra lean 95% fat free beef mince (weighed raw)

2 mini tortilla wraps
-
20g shredded lettuce
-
10g finely chopped brown onion
-
30g pickled cucumber slices
-
20g special burger sauce (original style)

Method
1. Season and cook the beef: Season the mince with salt and pepper. Spread a thin, even layer over each mini tortilla.
2. Sear the taco base: Place the tortilla beef-side down into a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and has a light crust.
3. Flip and melt: Carefully flip each tortilla over. Add a slice of cheese to each taco and cook until melted.
4. Top it like a burger: Remove from the pan and layer with shredded lettuce, onion, pickles, and a drizzle of burger sauce.
