Ingredient notes

- For the sauce, you mix 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with vinegar, mustard, ketchup (inferred as Sriracha), paprika, and onion powder.
Tips from You Suck At Cooking’s video
- Spread the ground beef evenly on the tortillas to create a thin layer, similar to a Smash Burger, for optimal cooking.
- Make sure to chop the iceberg lettuce dry to avoid excess moisture that can make the taco soggy.
- When cooking the tortillas, heat the pan on medium-high for about 2-3 minutes to achieve a nice crisp without burning.
