  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Burger Sauce / Big Mac Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise

4 tablespoons pickle relish

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon sugar

½ tablespoon white vinegar

1¼ teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Tacos:

4 flour tortillas (6-inch)

1 pound lean ground beef

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)

4 slices American cheese

1 small onion, diced

Dill pickle chips

Shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix all burger sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

  2. Divide ground beef into 4 equal 4-oz portions. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

  4. Place a beef ball onto the skillet, then immediately press a tortilla over it, smashing the beef flat into the tortilla. Cook for 2–3 minutes until crispy.
