Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped pickles
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
Toppings
- 8 mini tortillas
- 8 slices cheese American, cheddar, or dairy-free
- 1 cup chopped lettuce romaine or iceberg
- 1 cup sliced dill pickles
Instructions
- Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Form four round patties and set aside on a plate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickles, white vinegar.
- Take one shaped burger patty and smash it in an even layer onto one mini tortilla, bringing the meat out to the sides. It's okay if the meat goes a little past the edges of the tortilla, as it will shrink a bit when cooking. Repeat with remaining three patties and tortillas.
- Heat olive oil on a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place one burger patty and tortilla, meat side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the meat is mostly cooked.
- Flip over so the tortilla side is down, top with slice of cheese, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted and meat is fully cooked. Repeat with remaining three burgers and tortillas.
- Top each with lettuce, pickles, and drizzly with sauce. Serve immediately, either folded up like a taco or serve open faced.
Notes
Makes 4-5 Big Mac smash tacos
Tip: make sure you press the beef out in an even layer so that it at least touches the edges of the tortilla rounds. The meat will seize up and shrink a bit as it cooks, so make sure you press it into a thin even layer. This will also make it easier to fold it up like a taco when it's cooked.
Ingredient notes:
- Use mini flour tortillas for the best result.
- I use ground beef that is an 80/20 mix, which gives you big flavors still but less fat.
- You can use your favorite sliced cheese. I use dairy-free slices and it's just as delicious!
