Big Mac Tacos are a playful fusion of classic smash burgers and tacos, featuring seasoned ground beef cooked directly on flour tortillas, topped with melty cheddar cheese, crisp shredded lettuce, pickles, and a creamy homemade Big Mac sauce. This recipe offers a quick, indulgent meal perfect for a casual dinner or game day snack.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 tacos

Ingredients

For the Tacos

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • Shredded lettuce, for topping
  • Sliced pickles, for topping

For the Big Mac Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and well blended. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Prepare the Beef on Tortillas: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Press each portion into a thin layer on one side of each flour tortilla, creating a beef layer that adheres to the tortilla.
  3. Season the Beef: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the beef side of each tortilla to enhance flavor.
  4. Cook the Tacos: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tortillas beef-side down onto the hot surface. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked through and has developed a crispy texture.
  5. Flip and Add Cheese: Carefully flip each tortilla to the uncooked side. Immediately sprinkle shredded cheese on the cooked beef side, now facing up. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortillas become lightly toasted.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Remove tacos from the skillet. Top each with shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, and a generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce. Fold the tortillas to enclose the fillings and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter variation.
  • Add diced onions inside the tacos for extra texture and flavor.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, served hot and crispy right off the skillet.
  • Pairs perfectly with fries or onion rings as side dishes for a classic meal.
