Cheesy Smashburger Tacos

Total Time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients

1 pound 90% extra lean ground beef
1/3 cup Pace® Signature Sauces Classic Taco Sauce (amount divided in recipe steps below)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 flour tortilla (6-inch)
1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1/4 cup chopped dill pickle
1/4 cup chopped white onion

Directions

Mix the beef and 4 teaspoons sauce in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1/4 cup cheese in the center of the skillet. When the cheese begins to melt, place 1 tortilla on top of the cheese and press down with a spatula so the cheese adheres to the tortilla. Cook for 1 minute or until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove the skillet from the heat. Let stand for 30 seconds. Transfer the tortilla to a baking sheet, cheese-side up. Repeat with the remaining cheese and tortillas. Wipe the skillet clean.
Turn the tortillas cheese-side down. Place 1 beef patty on each tortilla. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla, beef-side down, to the skillet and immediately press down firmly with a spatula to flatten the beef. Cook for 3 minutes or until the beef is done. Transfer to a serving plate, beef-side up. Wipe the skillet clean. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Top with the lettuce, pickles and onion. Drizzle with the remaining sauce before serving.
