How to Make It

Drizzle

Drizzle olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to shimmer, creating the perfect environment for your burgers to sear beautifully.

Mix

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. This blend enhances the natural juiciness of the meat, waiting to burst with flavor.

Portion

Use a measuring cup to portion out the beef, then add it to the hot skillet. The sizzling sound is a delightful reminder that tasty tacos are on the way!

Press

With a sturdy spatula, press each beef ball into a flat patty, creating a crispy edge. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they release easily and have a nice golden crust.

Turn

Gently turn the patties over and immediately top each with shredded cheddar cheese. Let them melt for another 2-3 minutes, filling the air with mouthwatering aroma.
