Ingredients
Smashburger Tacos:
- 12 street-size tortillas corn or flour for serving
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 or leaner for less fat and shrinkage
- 8 slices American cheese for topping the burgers
- ¼ to ½ cup finely diced onion for flavor and garnish
- Sliced pickles for serving
- Shredded lettuce for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste or steak seasoning for extra flavor
Big Mac Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise base for the sauce
- 2 tablespoons French dressing adds tang and creaminess
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish for that signature tangy taste
- 1 tablespoon minced onion for added flavor
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar balances acidity
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar for tanginess
- 1 clove garlic minced for extra depth of flavor
- Pinch of salt to taste
Instructions
- Add all Big Mac sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Set aside.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 even portions (about 2 ounces each). Shape them into balls.
- Place each ground beef ball in the center of a tortilla. Use your hands to gently press the beef to the edges of the tortilla. Don’t worry about the overhang—it will shrink while cooking.
- Sprinkle each pressed burger with salt and pepper or a dash of steak seasoning.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place each pressed burger, beef-side down, onto the hot skillet.
- Use a solid metal spatula to press down on the burgers for a good sear. Cook for about 2 minutes while frequently pressing.
- While the burgers are cooking, heat a separate skillet over low heat.
- When the 2 minutes are up, use the spatula to flip the burger and place it tortilla-side down into the heated skillet. Add a slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly before transferring to a platter.
- Repeat the process with the remaining burgers.
- Serve the tacos with your choice of Big Mac-inspired toppings, such as lettuce, pickles, onions, and the Big Mac sauce.
