Instructions

Prep

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Quick-pickle the red onion: cover the rings with red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and let them sit while you make the tacos.
Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and pickle juice together for the burger sauce.

Smash and Bake

Lay the 8 tortillas flat on a large rimmed sheet pan in two columns.
Divide the beef into 8 portions. Put one on each tortilla and press it out with a spatula into a thin layer that almost reaches the edge.
Season with salt and pepper, then scatter the diced white onion and both cheeses over each.
Bake for 12 minutes, until the beef is browned with crisp edges and the cheese is melted.

Top and Fold

Top each taco with shredded lettuce and pickled red onion, then drizzle with burger sauce.
Fold each taco in half and serve with lime wedges.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Use cold 80/20 beef; the fat renders into the tortilla and fries it crisp underneath.

Tip 2 of 2

Pickle the red onion first so it has time to turn pink while the tacos bake.
