Servings: 4
Calories: 375kcal
Ingredients
- avocado oil spray
- 1 lb lean ground beef or other lean ground meat Use 90% lean or higher to prevent too much grease in the pan
- 4 gluten free tortillas Mission brand are my fave, can sub regular flour tortillas if not gluten free
- 4 slices American cheese or your favorite cheese
- 1/4 cup red or white onion thinly sliced or diced
- salt and garlic powder to taste
- 1/4 cup dill pickles for topping
- 1/2 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce for topping
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup plain low fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup naturally sweetened ketchup
- 1/2-1 Tbsp maple syrup You can omit
- 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp mayo
- 1 Tbsp pickle juice
- sprinkle salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to taste
Instructions
- Mix ingredients for sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Have your pickles, onions, and shredded lettuce toppings ready to go, as the tacos will cook quickly!
- Divide the 1 lb of beef into 4 equal portions and roll them each into a ball. Place the ball into the middle of a tortilla and press down. Spread ground meat into a thin layer, covering the tortilla almost to the edge. In my testing, this worked better than smashing the burger during the cooking process. Sprinkle with beef with salt and garlic powder.
- Lightly spray a cast iron skillet, non stick skillet, or flat griddle pan with avocado oil spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 (or more if you can fit) tortilla, meat side down and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the meat is browned.
- Flip tortilla and add a slice of cheese. Cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Be careful not to overcook your tacos! The gluten free tortilla gets crispy fast, so keep a close eye!
- Serve with desired toppings and 2 Tbsp burger sauce.
Notes
21 Day Fix: 21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1 YELLOW, 1/2 BLUE, 1/2 TSP, trace GREEN (per taco)
WW: without burger sauce - 13 points (per taco); with burger sauce - 15 points (per taco) [Calculated using 95% ground beef, Mission brand soft taco tortillas, low fat greek yogurt, and ½ Tbsp maple syrup]
*You can sub reduced fat cheddar cheese for American cheese and corn tortillas for the gluten free tortillas and it will be 9 points per taco without sauce and 11 points per taco with sauce*
Storage + Leftovers
If you happen to have leftovers, store tacos in an airtight container or wrap well in foil. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Unused burger sauce should also be refrigerated.
Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in your airfryer at 350 degrees until the taco crisps up and the beef patty and cheese is warmed through.
