Why You’ll Love Big Mac Smash Tacos
These Big Mac Smash Tacos will leave the whole family satisfied. The flavors are exactly like the fast food favorite, but ultimately healthier because it’s made fresh at home with ingredients you can control. My homemade Mac Sauce is perfection, and tastes just like the real thing: creamy, tangy, and sweet, and great with burgers, hot dogs, or as a dip for fries. These use tortillas as a bun and fry up in minutes, so you’ll have dinner on the table in a flash.
How to Prepare
🍅 Prepare the Mac Sauce: to a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, tomato paste, honey Dijon, relish, and pickle juice. 🥄 Stir it all together and set aside or keep it in the fridge until ready to serve. 🌀 Take a small pack of ground beef and divide it into 5 equal portions (about 1/3-1/2 cup of meat). Then roll each portion into a ball and set aside. 🫓 Take a small flour tortilla and one portion of the ground beef. Press the ground meat onto the tortilla making sure you press it flat and into one even and thin layer. 🧂 Add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper on top. 🫓 Repeat to make 5 tortillas. 🔥 Heat up a pan on the stove on medium-high heat. 🥑 Add a touch of avocado oil (or use avocado oil spray) and place the tortilla meat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and caramelized. 🧀 Now, flip it over, add the cheese, reduce the heat to medium-low, and put a lid on the pan. 🥬 Once the cheese has melted, take the tortilla off the heat, and top it with lettuce, finely chopped onions, and a drizzle of the Mac sauce.
