About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tortilla wrap
- 1 1/10 lb beef mince
- 1 onion
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 3 burger cheese
- a splash water
- 1 lettuce
- 2 tomato
- 4 gherkin
- to taste extra sauce
Burger Sauce
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp American mustard
- 1 tsp gherkin juice
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, American mustard, and gherkin juice. Stir until smooth and set the burger sauce aside.
- 2Lay out the tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Divide the 500 g of beef mince into three equal portions (about 165 g each) and press each portion onto one half of a wrap, spreading it evenly.
- 3Scatter the thinly sliced onion over the pressed meat, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 4Heat a large non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat and add a thin drizzle of oil, just enough to coat the surface.
- 5Place the wraps meat‑side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the meat is browned and develops a crust.
- 6Flip the wraps, immediately lay a slice of burger cheese on each meat side, add a splash of water, and cover the pan with a lid for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
- 7Remove the pan from heat. Spoon a generous amount of the prepared burger sauce over the melted cheese on each wrap.
- 8Top the sauce with shredded lettuce, finely chopped tomato, and thinly sliced gherkins, distributing the toppings evenly.
- 9Fold each wrap in half, then cut each folded wrap into three triangular pieces.
- 10Arrange the taco triangles on a serving platter and provide extra sauce on the side for dipping.
