To prepare the Tortilla Burgers:

1. Begin by spreading 1/4 cup of vegan alternative meat onto the center of a flour tortilla. Press the meat until it's evenly spread on all sides and season the top with pepper.
2. Add the tortilla burger, meat-side down, to an oiled medium-heated skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes.
3. Gently flip the tortilla burger and immediately top the meat with a slice of vegan cheese.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of water to your pan, then quickly cover it with a lid. Turn the heat down to allow the steam to melt the cheese.
5. Serve the tortilla burgers with your desired toppings, but don’t forget to add your delicious homemade Big Mac sauce!
