Big Mac Tacos are a fun and delicious twist on the classic burger. These tacos feature seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, pickles, onions, and a tangy special sauce, all wrapped in a soft taco shell.

Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a party appetizer, they combine the best of both worlds for a tasty and satisfying meal.

Tips for Best Results

• Cook the beef just right
  Brown until no pink remains, then stop. Overcooking can make the meat dry once the sauce is added.
• Drain excess grease
  Removing extra fat before adding the sauce keeps the filling rich and flavourful, not greasy.
• Mix the sauce separately
  Stirring it together first ensures a smooth, evenly balanced flavour throughout the beef.
• Finely dice the pickles
  Smaller pieces distribute that signature tangy flavour more evenly in every bite.
• Warm the taco shells
  Heating them briefly improves both texture and overall flavour.
• Assemble just before serving
  This keeps the shells from going soggy and the lettuce crisp.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Meat – Use lean ground beef for best results, if you use a higher fat content ground then make sure you drain any fat from the pan before adding the sauce. Ground chicken or turkey are good options too!

Sauce – Do not substitute with thousand island dressing, it is not the same as big mac sauce. Use real mayo, not miracle whip.

Toppings – Onions, cheddar cheese and shredded iceberg lettuce.

Yields: 6 Servings | Prep time: 15 Minutes | Cook time: 12 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup dill pickles, diced and divided
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup yellow onions, diced
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded

Directions

In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper.

While the meat cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of pickles, mustard, ketchup, and paprika.

Once the ground beef is fully cooked and no pink remains (Image 1), stir in the sauce until the meat is evenly coated. (Image 2)

Then, assemble the tacos by filling each taco shell with the beef mixture, diced onion, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced pickles, as desired.
