Divide the 400g of minced beef into 4 equal balls (approximately 100g each). Place one beef ball onto the center of each small white tortilla. Using your fingers, firmly smash the beef onto the tortilla, spreading it out evenly to cover most of the surface. Season the raw beef generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and spray with a few sprays of olive oil. Carefully place the beef-covered tortillas, beef-side down, into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked through and browned.

Flip each tortilla so the cooked beef side is now facing up. Immediately place one slice of light Red Leicester cheese on top of the cooked beef. Cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the tortilla to crisp up on the bottom.

Once the cheese is melted and the bottom of the tortilla is crispy, remove the tacos from the pan. Fill each taco with a generous spoonful of the remaining Big Mac sauce and a portion of the sauced lettuce.
