What is a Big Mac Taco?
The original Big Mac is one of Macdonald's signature burgers that was named by Esther Glickstein, a corporate employee.
It consists of a beef patty, a secret signature sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles.
For this recipe we transform the burger into a taco by cooking the beef patty with a flour tortilla.
Ingredients for tortilla burger
For this recipe you will need just a handful of ingredients.
- Beef burger patties: Use your favorite kind of burger patty. If you use a high-fat ratio beef you might need to drain some fat.
- Tortilla: Use fajita-size flour tortillas.
- Cheese: Cheddar cheese slices.
- Pickles: Use the pickle rounds. I had to cut mine in pieces since I only had pickle spears.
- Romaine lettuce:
- Burger sauce: I use store bought but you can make your own easily.
- Tomatoes: I added chopped tomatoes because I like tomatoes in my burger.
Tortilla burger tacos recipe overview
Here is a quick summary of this recipe.
Start by seasoning your beef patties with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
Place it on the tortilla and flip it over a skillet over medium-high heat.
Using a burger smasher or a flat spatula press the beef down and cook the patty without flipping it until the meat is fully cooked.
If your burgers are fatty, you can drain some fat off the skillet before flipping the tortilla.
Flip the tortilla over and add the sliced cheese. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese melts.
Add the lettuce, tomato, pickles and Big Mac sauce and serve immediately.
How to make the Big Mac sauce
The burger sauce is a combination of mayo, ketchup, horseradish, mustard and sweet relish.
There are ready-made burger sauces that go by the name of "Special Sauce" or just burger sauce.
