Serves: 1

Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

How to make the smash burger tacos:

• 100g 5% lean beef mince
• ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• ½ tsp garlic granules
• 2 small wholewheat tortillas
• Low calorie oil spray
• 25g low fat cheddar cheese, grated
• 20g iceberg lettuce, shredded
• ¼ onion, finely diced
• 1 gherkin, diced

How to make the burger sauce:

• 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
• ½ tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• ½ tsp gherkin juice

Method:

1. Mix lean beef mince, black pepper, and garlic granules together in a bowl.
2. Divide mince evenly and roll into two small balls.
3. Place one ball on each tortilla and press down until the meat is evenly spread. Try to get as close to the edges as possible, as the meat will shrink when cooking.
4. Heat a frying pan with low-calorie oil spray and bring to a medium heat.
5. Cook meat side down for 3-4 minutes then flip, top with cheese slice and fry for 1 minute, until the meat is cooked through, the tortilla is crisp, and the cheese is melted.
6. Whilst cooking, mix all of the ingredients for the burger sauce in a small bowl.
7. When ready to serve top smash burger taco with lettuce, onion, gherkin, and a good drizzle of burger sauce.

Top tip: If you want your cheese to melt, you can cover the pan loosely with tin foil or a lid to help it get gooey!
