Ingredients

  • 6-8 mini wraps
  • 500 g beef mince
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • 1 egg yolk
  • romaine lettuce finely chopped
  • 3 gherkins/pickles sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or 3-5 drops
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • ½-1 tbsp hot sauce e.g., Sriracha
  • a pinch of salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic granules this will be mixed in the sauce
  • cheese 1 slice per taco if using square cheese
  • 1-2 tsp ghee or grass-fed butter for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the minced beef with salt, black pepper, garlic granules, and egg yolk. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  • Lay out a large piece of non-stick baking paper and place your mini wraps on top. Take a golf ball-sized portion of the seasoned mince (or a little more if you prefer) and flatten it onto each wrap, spreading it evenly to cover most of the surface. Repeat for all wraps.
  • Finely chop the lettuce and slice the gherkins/pickles. Thinly slice the red onion, then heat a pan with a little ghee. Add the onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce and continue cooking until softened to your preferred texture.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, hot sauce, salt, paprika, and garlic granules until smooth.
  • Preheat a pan and add ghee. Place the wraps meat-side down and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the meat is mostly cooked. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the wrap turns golden and crispy. If needed, flip again to ensure the meat is fully cooked.
  • Transfer the tacos onto a paper towel to absorb excess butter while keeping them crispy. Immediately add cheese on top so it melts.
  • Finish by adding your toppings—lettuce first, followed by gherkins, onions, and a drizzle of the sauce.
  • Enjoy!
