Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Heat a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (if you have any) in a medium saucepan on medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the onion. Season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8-10 mins.
Add the sugar for the onions (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.
Meanwhile, lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a baking tray and divide the sausage meat between the tortillas.
Using a fork, spread the sausage meat evenly into a thin layer onto each tortilla. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Bake the sausage meat-topped tacos on the middle shelf until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The sausage meat is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
In the meantime, grate the Cheddar.
Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.
Cut tomato into 1cm chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts).
Toss through the tomato chunks and set aside until ready to serve.
Share your tacos between your serving plates.
Top with your caramelised onion and sprinkle over the cheese.
Drizzle the burger sauce over the tacos.
Toss the baby gem through the dressing and serve alongside. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - tuck in the end of the tortillas and get stuck in!

- Texture: The tortillas often became too crispy or burnt in the oven, making them difficult to fold and eat.
