MIX the ground beef with salt and pepper.

PRESS a thin layer of beef onto the tortillas. Pre all before you begin cooking.

PREHEAT a hot skillet or griddle over high heat – it should be smoking.

ADD a bit of oil to the pan and place one tortilla with the beef side down. Flatten/smash it using a flat surface. Leave there for 1-2 minutes and then flip.

PLACE two cheese slices on top of the beef and place a lid on for 30 seconds to help the cheese melt.

REMOVE from the pan and repeat with all the tacos.

SERVE with the lettuce, Big Mac Sauce and pickles.

FOOD TEAM TIP: To keep them warm, keep them in the oven at 120℃ on a cooling rack to prevent sogginess.
