Season the beef balls evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Place the beef balls in the skillet with plenty of space between them. Place a tortilla over each ball. Use a heavy spatula to press down firmly on the tortilla, flattening the beef into a very thin layer that reaches the edges of the tortilla.
Cook the beef undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms and the meat is mostly cooked through. Done when well-browned, 160°F.
Carefully flip the tacos so the tortilla side is down. Immediately sprinkle the cheese over the beef. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the tortilla is lightly toasted and the cheese is melted. Done when cheese is melted.
Remove the tacos from the skillet. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, onion, and pickle chips. Drizzle with mustard and serve immediately.
