Preparation
Cook the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef* and ½ the garlic; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the lettuce. Remove the root ends of the Brussels sprouts; thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and Brussels sprouts. In a medium bowl, combine ½ the mayo, ⅓ of the vinegar, the remaining garlic and spices, and S&P.
Make the salad
In a small bowl, combine the remaining vinegar and mayo, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Transfer to the bowl of lettuce and Brussels sprouts and add the sunflower seeds.
Warm the tortillas & serve
Heat a second large, dry pan on medium. Working in batches, add the tortillas and toast, 30 sec. to 1 min. per side, until lightly browned. Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the spiced mayo. Top with the beef and a spoonful of the salad. Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
