Instructions
Preparation
- Chop your toppings and have your cheese grated and ready.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until it's really hot.
Cooking
- Take a handful of ground beef (about 2 ounces) and form a loose ball—do not overwork it.
- Place the beef ball on the skillet and press down firmly with a spatula to create a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy, then flip.
- After flipping, add cheese slices on top of the patty and add a splash of water to the pan. Cover to create steam for melting the cheese.
Assembly
- Place the patty in your taco shell and load up with desired toppings.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes or sauces.
Notes
Experiment with different toppings and flavors. High-quality beef enhances flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispiness.
