Recipe Ingredients
For Cheese Sauce
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- Kosher salt, to taste
For Burgers and Assembly
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 small red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup dill pickle chips
Recipe Directions
For Cheese Sauce
- Toss pepper jack and cornstarch together in small saucepan. Pour in half-and-half. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside for serving with tacos.
For Burgers and Assembly
- Heat griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Divide chicken into 4 equal balls. Working in batches if necessary, place the balls 4-inches apart on griddle. Season with salt and pepper. Place tortillas on top of chicken balls and press down, using a spatula, to flatten the chicken into the shape of the tortilla. Cook until chicken is golden-brown and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip tacos over and top with cheddar. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Top tacos with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and pickles. Drizzle with cheese sauce, and serve.
TIP
You can substitute chicken with ground beef!
It looks good. Will have to try it.
