Instructions
- Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into eight equal balls and season each with salt and pepper.

- Build each taco by placing a patty on a tortilla and topping with lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, and mayonnaise.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melting.
Notes
For a spicier kick, swap mayonnaise for chipotle mayo. You can also use leaner meat, but be cautious as it may result in drier patties.
