Instructions
Make the special sauce
Whisk together mayonnaise yellow mustard and ketchup in a small bowl until fully combined and smooth. Season with a pinch of onion powder. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Smash the beef patties
Divide the ground beef into 8 equal loose balls without packing them too tightly. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Place a beef ball on the skillet and immediately smash it flat with a heavy spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until deeply charred on the bottom.
Add cheese and flip
Flip each smashed patty and immediately place a slice of American cheese over two patties to melt. Cook for 1 more minute then remove from heat. The edges should be crispy and lacy from the high heat smash.
Scramble the eggs
Reduce the skillet heat to medium low. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pour into the same skillet using the remaining beef fat for flavor. Gently fold the eggs slowly with a spatula creating large soft curds. Remove from heat while still slightly underdone as they will continue cooking.
Warm tortillas and assemble
Warm flour tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until slightly charred and pliable. Spread special sauce on each tortilla then layer with scrambled eggs one smashed patty and dill pickle slices. Fold and serve immediately.
