Big Mac Tacos (Smash Burger Tacos)
Smash burger tacos Big Mac-style with lean ground beef, flour tortillas, melty cheese and a lightened up Big Mac sauce.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 8 slices cheese cheddar, American, or whatever sliced cheese you like
- olive oil or avocado oil for coating pan or cooking spray
Burger sauce ingredients
- 1/3 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1.5 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- salt + black pepper to taste
Smash Burger Toppings
- shredded lettuce
- diced sweet onion
- dill pickle slices
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add all burger sauce ingredients and whisk together until fully combined. Set aside.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika to a small bowl and combine.
- Divide beef into 8 2 oz. patties and press each patty on a tortilla in a thin layer, leaving ~½” border at the edge of tortilla. Season each patty evenly with spice mixture.
- Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan on medium heat with a thin layer of oil. Add the burgers to the pan (you’ll need to work in batches), burger side down first. Cook for 2-4 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.
- Flip burger so that the tortilla is now pan-side down, top with a slice of cheese, and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the edges of the tortilla are slightly crispy and golden brown, and cheese is melted.
- Transfer burger taco to a plate when finished and then top each one with shredded lettuce, onion, pickle slices and burger sauce.
Notes
-
- Make sure to use small taco sized tortillas.
- Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding your burger. The burger needs to cook quickly to get crispy and make sure that the tortilla doesn't get soggy.
