In a medium skillet over medium heat, break up the ground beef. Cook until cooked through, drain the excess fat from the pan, and stir in the taco seasoning.
1/2 pound ground beef, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce.
1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons minced pickled jalapeños , 2 teaspoons pickled jalapeño juice, 3/4 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Place a large skillet that you can fit with a lid over low heat.
Divide the sauce in two and spread over two of the tortillas.
4 10 inch flour tortillas
Working with one tortilla at a time, spray the skillet with a very small amount of cooking spray. Place the tortilla (that has been prepared with the sauce) in the skillet. Sprinkle on half the cheese, half the beef, and top it with another tortilla shell.
3 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shell begins to turn golden brown. Cover it while it is cooking. Flip it over, recover, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy.
