Ingredients:
- 12 tacos corn or flour tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef (453 grams)
- salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 12 slices of cheese
- 1/2 white onion finely diced
- 24 slices of pickles
- iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet relish
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions:
- Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Divide the ground meat into 12 equal portions, approximately one small handful each, and shape them into balls.
- Take a small tortilla and place a ball of ground beef on top. Flatten the beef until it covers the edge of the tortilla in a thin layer. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat or BBQ. Add 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil. Put the tortilla with the meat side down onto the pan. Use the back of a spatula or a burger press to press down, creating a smashed burger effect. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the ground beef is browned.
- Flip the taco over so that the tortilla side is down. Place a slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt for about a minute.
- Remove from heat. Add diced onion, shredded lettuce, pickles, and the Big Mac sauce as toppings. Enjoy the taco while it's still warm!
Notes:
Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy smashed burger tacos.
