1 Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and pickle juice in a small bowl and set aside.
2 Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over high heat. Season 1 side of ground beef with half the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add beef, seasoned side down, into the hot pan and use spatula to flatten it into a large patty about a 1/2-inch thick. Let the beef cook undisturbed until browned, about 4 minutes.
3 Flip the beef and let it cook 1 more minute before using the spatula to chop the meat into smaller pieces. Add onion and continue to cook, while chopping the mixture into very small pieces.
4 Top with cheese and allow to melt, about one minute. Add pickles and then use 1 or 2 spatulas to combine the ingredients. Remove from heat.
5 Divide meat mixture among tortillas and top with shredded lettuce, crushed chips and a drizzle of reserved sauce.
