These Crispy Beef & Pickle Tacos were created by Steve Arroyo, when he owned a restaurant called Malo in Los Angeles, CA. He opened up Escuela Taqueria in Pasadena, where I was first introduced to these absolutely delicious tacos, that are stuffed with crispy fried beef, cheddar cheese and dill pickle chips. It's like a burger in a taco shell!

This is one of the easiest and most delicious ways to make ground beef tacos. I make it for company, and it never fails, they ask for the recipe. I didn’t use a toothpick, just slowly placed them in the cast iron skillet (over medium heat), and it worked.
