  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, ketchup, relish, paprika, and salt until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your griddle to 400°F or use a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  • Divide the ground beef into six portions, shaping each into a 2-1/2 ounce ball while keeping them cold.
  • Press each beef ball onto a tortilla, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook beef-side down for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  • Flip, add cheese on the tortilla side, and cover for 1 minute to melt the cheese thoroughly.
  • Fold each taco, add your favorite toppings, and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Enjoy immediately!
