Preparation

In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the secret sauce. Mix them until well combined. Set the sauce aside.

Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Divide the beef into 6 portions, approximately the size of a small golf ball, depending on the size of your tortillas. Press the beef into the tortillas until it almost reaches the edge. (The meat will shrink when it cooks).

Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat.

Add the beef and tortilla to the hot skillet, with the beef side facing down. Depending on the size of your skillet, you can cook more than one at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the meat is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of around 160°F), and the tortilla becomes slightly crispy, then carefully flip it over.

Quickly add cheese to the tortilla and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to crisp.

Remove the tortilla from the heat and add your desired toppings and the secret sauce. Enjoy your creation while it's still warm!

Tips

  • Prior to garnishing, tacos can be kept warm in a 250°F oven.
  • Swap out Canadian cheddar cheese for your favourite Canadian cheese made with 100% Canadian milk
