• Tacos
o In a bowl, combine the meat, onion and garlic salt. Season with salt and pepper.
o Divide the meat mixture among the tortillas. Lightly press on the mixture to cover the surface of the tortillas and to ensure that it sticks.
o Over medium heat, cook one taco at a time in each skillet, meat-side down, for 2 minutes. Press on the tortillas with a spatula to release the juices from the meat. Flip the tacos over and top each one with a slice of cheese. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
o Garnish the hot tacos with the sauce, lettuce and chopped pickles. Fold the tacos over and serve immediately.
