These burger tacos are the perfect recipe when you need an easy dinner recipe that feels like fast food but is healthier, budget-friendly, and soooo delicious!
The delicious Big Mac Sauce is what really makes this recipe shine, so don’t skip on it! You can add ketchup to it if you want, but the original sauce is made without it.
See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and instructions.
Make the Big Mac sauce first by stirring all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. The original Big Mac sauce doesn’t have ketchup, but you can taste it and add it in if you prefer. Set aside in the fridge.
Have your shredded lettuce and pickle slices ready for serving. The tacos will cook fast, and you want to add the toppings before the dish gets cold.
Place tortillas down flat, then divide ground beef into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it at the center of each tortilla.
Press the meat flat into a circle until it almost reaches the edge of the tortilla. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet (or use a hot griddle) over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil.
Once the oil starts smoking, place the tortillas on the pan beef side down. Fit as many in the pan as you can without overlapping (you’ll cook these in batches). Press down as much as you can (I placed a Dutch oven on top to flatten), and cook for 2 minutes until the meat gets golden brown.
Flip the tortillas, and add a slice of cheese on top. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes and let the cheese melt.
Remove from the pan, then repeat with the rest of the tortillas. You can keep the cooked ones in a 200-degree oven so they stay warm until ready to eat.
Top your crispy tortilla with pickles, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of Big Mac sauce. Enjoy!
These Big Mac tacos are best eaten immediately. However, you can store leftover tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer to retain the crispiness, but keep in mind that they may get a little soggy.
While they are similar, Thousand Island and Big Mac sauces vary in ingredients. While both sauces are mayo-based, Thousand Island contains ketchup, and Big Mac sauce does not.
