INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN GROUND BEEF:

  • This beef gives the tacos their classic burger flavor and keeps them juicy. You may use lean ground turkey as an alternative.

SMALL TORTILLAS:

  • These tortillas hold the smashed beef and toppings. You may use small corn, whole-wheat, or low-carb tortillas as another option.

REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • This cheese gives the tacos a delicious cheeseburger flavor and melts nicely over the beef. You may use reduced-fat American cheese as a substitute.

LETTUCE:

  • It adds freshness and a pleasant crunchy texture to the tacos. You may use shredded cabbage, spinach, or a lettuce-and-cabbage mixture as another idea.

DILL PICKLES:

  • They maintain the richness of the beef, cheese, and sauce. You may use bread-and-butter pickles as per your choice.
