Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 large ripe tomato, thickly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat, adding oil if using a skillet.
  2. In a bowl, season ground beef with salt and pepper; divide into four equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than tortillas.
  3. Cook patties on the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness; place cheese on top during the last minute to melt.
  4. Warm tortillas in another skillet or on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  5. Assemble by layering each tortilla with lettuce, tomato slices, onions, cooked patties, and zesty sauce; serve immediately.
