Zubereitungszeit ca. 25 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 10 MinutenKochzeit ca. 15 Minuten
Zutaten:
- 1 pound (450 g) ground beef, 80/20 or 85/15
- 6 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- Avocado oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese or Cheddar
- Shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, chopped tomatoes, and thinly sliced onions, for serving
- 1 batch burger sauce recipe (optional)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Divide the beef into 6 equally sized balls (about 2 ½ ounces each) and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to take the chill off.
- Place the tortillas on a work surface. Place a ball of beef into the middle of each tortilla. Using the back of a spoon, spread the meat evenly over the tortilla, taking it all the way to the edges.
- Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (so hot that water sizzles immediately when sprinkled on it).
- Drizzle lightly with oil, then add the tortillas, meat-side down, adding as many as can comfortably fit. Using a spatula or burger press, firmly press the tortillas and meat down into the pan. Cook until the beef is golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a sturdy spatula (metal is best), scrape the burger from the pan in one go and flip. Add a slice of cheese and cook until the underside of the tortilla is toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat with any remaining tortillas. Top with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and a drizzle of burger sauce.
