Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish
12 small flour tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Optional Toppings: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, extra pickles
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned completely. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish into the cooked meat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring well.
Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the meat mixture. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
Spoon the cheeseburger filling evenly into the center of each warm tortilla.
Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, or extra pickles.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creation!
Notes
For a tangier flavor, you can substitute yellow mustard with Dijon mustard.
If you prefer a crispier shell, lightly fry the warmed tortillas in a little oil until slightly firm before filling.
This filling freezes well. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
