Big Mac Tacos
The iconic burger from your childhood, but served on a warm tortilla to create a Big Mac Taco- so much fun to make and devour.

How do you make a Big Mac into a Taco?
The secret is in the sauce. No kidding. Make a tangy sweet and sour sauce with pickles, onions, vinegar, mayo and a few spices. Then press super flat smashburgers on tortillas. The beef cooks up in a flash on a hot pan or griddle like a Blackstone. Top with cheese that melts fast like a Colby jack- this is not time for a fancy pants cheese. You want this kind of trash-. trust me.
Top with all the Big Mac fixings like shredded crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, and loads of dill pickles. Slather that Secret Sauce on top and dig in. This Smashburger Taco went viral for a reason- it is so good! I’m lovin’ it.

Big Mac Taco Ingredients:

Equipment and utensils needed for this recipe:

- spatula
- large cookie sheet
- mixing bowl
- parchment paper

Tips for great tacos:
- Use fresh flour tortillas. I refer the taste of wheat with this smash burger.
- Find the leanest beef you can- if the pan is too greasy, it can splatter and make mess and an even messier taco.
- Wipe the pan down with paper towels in between batches of frying the beef.
- For a really great Secret Sauce, make it a day ahead and keep in an airtight glass container in the fridge.
- Shred your iceberg lettuce very thinly.
- To help the cheese melt, cover the pan with a tight fitting lid.
