Method

  1. Press the ball of ground beef onto a tortilla, flattening it with a torch or a heavy pan to form a patty on the tortilla.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Beef is spread in a thin layer across the tortilla. Press evenly so the beef cooks at a similar rate.

  2. Season the patty generously with taco seasoning.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the patty in the pan, cooking until the first side is browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: First side is browned.

  4. Flip the patty and cook the other side until browned and cooked through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Beef is browned on both sides and cooked through.

  5. Remove the patty from the pan and top with shredded cheese, letting it melt slightly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheese begins to soften.

  6. Add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes on top of the cheese.

  7. Drizzle zero‑cal Taco Bell sauce over the assembled taco snack.

  8. Eat the assembled taco.
