4 Servings
Ingredients
For the Taco Filling:
- 8 oz ground beef portioned into four balls
- 8 flour tortillas
- 4-8 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 16 pickle slices
For the Big Mac Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow the flavors to blend.
Season the Beef
- In a separate bowl, season the ground beef with a pinch of onion powder and garlic powder if desired. Divide the mixture into four equally sized balls for even cooking.
Prepare the Tortillas and Beef
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over high heat. Place one flour tortilla on the hot surface and press a ground beef ball directly onto the tortilla, flattening it evenly with a burger press or spatula. The beef should spread thin but not cover the entire tortilla.
Cook the Beef and Tortillas
- Allow the beef to cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, undisturbed, until the meat browns and crisps around the edges. Carefully flip the tortilla, meat side up, using a spatula.
Add the Cheese
- Reduce the heat to medium. Place one or two slices of cheddar cheese directly onto the cooked beef, allowing it to melt slightly while the tortilla continues to warm.
Assemble the Tacos
- Top each taco with shredded lettuce, pickle slices, and a generous drizzle of the prepared Big Mac sauce.
Serve Immediately
- Transfer the tacos to a serving plate and enjoy them hot for the best texture and flavor.
