Ingredients
Beef Tacos
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup sliced dill pickles
Big Mac Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp white vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Big Mac Sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and white vinegar. Refrigerate the sauce to allow flavors to meld while you prepare the tacos.
- Portion the Beef: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Press each portion firmly onto the center of a flour tortilla, shaping it into a patty that matches the size of the tortilla.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place each tortilla with beef patty beef-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the beef is nicely browned on the bottom.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the tortilla and beef patty over and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the beef is cooked through.
- Add Cheese: Top each cooked beef patty with a slice of American cheese, allowing it to melt slightly in the residual heat.
- Remove From Skillet: Carefully transfer the tortillas with beef and melted cheese from the skillet to a plate.
- Assemble the Tacos: Add shredded lettuce, diced onions, and sliced dill pickles on top of the cheesy beef layer. Drizzle generously with the prepared Big Mac sauce.
- Serve Immediately: Fold the tortillas to enclose the filling and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep tacos from being too oily.
- For an extra crispy texture, toast the tortillas in the skillet before adding the beef.
- Serve these Big Mac Tacos with classic sides like fries or potato wedges for a complete meal.
