How to make Hamburger Tacos
To a small bowl add in the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, stir well, and refrigerate.
Heat a skillet or large griddle to medium heat.
Portion the ground beef out into 5-7 balls.
Sprinkle each ball with a dash of salt and pepper.
You don’t want to overcrowd your pan for this next part.
Add 1-2 ground beef balls into your pan (depending on your pan size) place a tortilla on top of each ground beef ball. Press the tortilla down to flatten the ground beef out to the size of the tortilla.
Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the ground beef is cooked through.
Top with a 1/2 slice of cheese, sauce, onion, and lettuce
How to store leftovers for this ground beef taco recipe:
Fridge: Store all of the toppings in separate ziplock bags or airtight containers and then any of the ground beef taco meat can be stored in an airtight container also for up to 5 days.

I accidentally bought the corn instead of the flour. They were very good but much more flimsy than the thicker flour tortillas would be. Otherwise, another winner that’s cheap and easy.
I’m excited about this recipe!! We love to make smash burgers, and have the tool to make them. So this is one step BETTER adding the tortilla. This will become a staple on our menu rotation!! Thanks, Julia!
