Big Mac tacos are a fusion of two classic favorites: the Big Mac and the taco. Ground beef is seasoned with Big Mac sauce, then topped with cheese, lettuce, and pickles. Serve on taco shells for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Tips:
- Use flour tortillas instead of buns for a more taco-like experience.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on the tortillas for added flavor.
- Use our homemade Thousand Island Dressing as an alternative to Big Mac sauce.
- Place the buns in a taco holder to help them form a taco shape.
Variations:
- Use cheese of your choice, including cheddar, Mexican blend, or American cheese.
- Use leaner ground beef, such as 85/15, or ground chuck for a more flavorful burger.
- Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Swap Big Mac Tacos sauce for guacamole.
Additional Tips and Tricks:
- Stick to flour tortillas for their flexibility and flavor similarity to hamburger buns.
- The beef patties will shrink during cooking, so it’s okay if they initially extend beyond the tortilla’s edge.
- Monitor the thin beef patties closely as they cook quickly, about 3 minutes.
- Melt cheese on the burgers immediately after removing them from the heat.
Enjoy these burgers fresh or store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them over medium heat on the stovetop.
