Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 4 slices American cheese, quartered
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
- For the Big Mac Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently.
- Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place a beef portion onto the hot skillet and immediately smash it down with a spatula until thin.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the sauce: whisk together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
- Once the beef patties are cooked, place a quarter slice of American cheese on top of each patty during the last 30 seconds of cooking to melt.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or in the microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a smashed beef patty with melted cheese onto each warm tortilla.
- Top with shredded lettuce, pickle slices, and a generous drizzle of the Big Mac sauce.
- Fold the tortilla in half to create the taco. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra crispy taco, you can lightly fry the assembled taco in a bit of oil after adding the toppings.
- Feel free to add chopped onions to the beef mixture for more flavor.
- Adjust the Big Mac sauce ingredients to your preference.
