What is a big mac taco?

It’s essentially all the perfection of a Big Mac in taco form: a juicy beef patty, special sauce, melty American cheese, shredded lettuce, a pickle slice, and diced onions, tucked into a crispy flour tortilla.

How to make big mac tacos

Smash – portion out tiny balls of ground beef and smash/press them onto flour tortillas, so they’re super flat and thin. Lightly season the beef with salt and pepper.

Grill – heat up a pan over medium-high heat and place the tortilla burger meat side down. The beef will cook through completely while pressed up directly against the hot pan. When the beef forms a golden brown crust and cooks through, lower the heat and flip the tortilla over so the tortilla crisps in the pan.

Melt – while the tortilla is crisping up, add a slice of American cheese and cover the tacos so the cheese melts.

Sauce – Mix together all the Big Mac sauce ingredients (mayo, ketchup, sweet relish, mustard, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika).

Finish – when the cheese is melty and the beef is ready, remove the tacos from the pan and top them with a slice of pickle, Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and an optional sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

Enjoy – fold them up, devour, and enjoy!
