Season the minced beef: In a medium bowl, add the minced beef. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and all-purpose seasoning. Mix thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed. This makes it easier to spread the meat onto the tortillas.

Prepare the beef patties: Take one mini tortilla wrap. Press approximately 100 grams (about 1/5th of the total beef) of the seasoned minced beef onto one side of the tortilla. Spread it out evenly and thinly, covering the entire surface of the tortilla.
⏱️ 5 min

Cook the beef: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the tortilla, beef-side down, into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is well-browned and cooked through.
⏱️ 3 min

Melt the cheese: Flip the tortilla over so the cooked beef is facing up. Immediately place one slice of cheese on top of the beef. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan (away from the tortilla) and quickly cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
⏱️ 2 min

Repeat for remaining tacos: Remove the cooked taco from the pan and set aside. Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining mini tortilla wraps and minced beef.
⏱️ 10 min

Assemble the tacos: To build each taco, place the cooked tortilla (cheese side up) on a plate. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced gherkins, and finely diced onions. Drizzle generously with the prepared Big Mac Sauce.
