Ingredients
Beef and 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, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and white vinegar. Stir well until fully combined, then refrigerate to let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Portion and Shape the Beef: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Press each portion firmly onto the center of a flour tortilla, shaping it to fit within the tortilla’s size.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place each tortilla with beef directly onto the hot skillet, cooking beef-side down for about 3–4 minutes until browned and partially cooked.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the tortillas so the beef side is up. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the beef is fully cooked through.
- Melt the Cheese: Immediately top each beef patty with a slice of American cheese, allowing it to melt over the meat while still on the skillet.
- Assemble the Tacos: Remove each tortilla with beef and melted cheese from the skillet. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, sliced dill pickles, and drizzle generously with the prepared Big Mac sauce.
- Serve: Fold the tortillas into taco shapes and serve immediately while warm and crispy. For a complete meal, serve with fries or potato wedges on the side.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce grease and keep tacos less oily.
- Toast the tortillas in the skillet before adding beef for extra crispiness if desired.
- These tacos pair wonderfully with classic sides like French fries or potato wedges for a fuller meal experience.
