Thomas Farms Grass Fed Ground Beef

1 pound Thomas Farms Ground Beef
8 flour tortillas (5-inch, street-style taco size)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium red onion, diced (about ½ cup)
24 dill pickle chips
Secret sauce or Thousand Island dressing

Instructions

Divide the beef into 8 portions (about 1/4 cup each). Place one portion onto each tortilla, and press the beef to flatten to about 1/4-inch thick (should cover most of the tortilla). Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tortillas, beef-side down, to the hot skillet. Cook for 2 minutes or until the beef is done. Turn the tortillas over and top each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Cover and cook for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Top with the lettuce, onion and pickles and drizzle with the sauce before serving.
