WHAT IS A SMASH BURGER TACO?

At the heart of these tacos lies the flavorful smash burger patty. A smash burger is created by pressing a ball of ground beef onto a hot griddle or skillet, allowing it to sear and develop a crispy exterior while maintaining juiciness inside. 

This technique creates a texture that perfectly complements the taco concept. This isn’t however your classic taco with pico de gallo and sour cream.

HOW TO MAKE THE BIG MAC STYLE TACOS

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the Big Mac sauce until well combined. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  2. Divide the ground beef into equal portions. Press each portion onto the tortilla shells in a thin later, then season with salt and black pepper. Cook beef side down for 2-3 minutes in a medium skillet.
  3. Flip each tortilla over and top with a slice of cheese. Cook for 1-2 more minutes covered on high heat until cheese melts.
  4. Top the tacos with shredded lettuce, sliced pickles, chopped onions, and a thin layer of the delicious Big Mac sauce.
  5. Serve the Big Mac Smash Burger Tacos immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite. You can serve along with other favorite toppings of choice if desired.

HOW TO STORE THE BIG MAC TACO RECIPE

To store the TikTok-Inspired Big Mac Smash Burger Tacos, follow these guidelines to maintain their freshness:

  • If you have leftover tacos, refrigerate them promptly to keep them safe and maintain their flavors.
  • Transfer the tacos to an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • Before serving, gently reheat the tacos in a skillet or air fryer until warmed through.

CAN I USE ANY TYPE OF TORTILLA SHELL?

Yes, the flour tortillas tend to hold up better, but the corn ones will also work.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN THE MEAT IS COOKED THROUGH?

You shouldn’t need more than 3 minutes. When smashing the burger they become super thin patties so they cook relatively quickly.

CAN THE TACOS GET SOGGY FROM THE BURGER GREASE?

As the burger cooks, some of the grease from the beef patties can affect the tortilla shells. This is why we cook the tortilla side on high heat after flipping the burger patty side over.

If you find that doesn’t work, you can crisp up your tortillas after the beef is cooked on them in a separate heated skillet for a minute over high heat.

The fusion of the classic Big Mac flavors with the taco concept is a delightful twist that is sure to impress your taste buds. These tacos are perfect for casual gatherings, weeknight dinners, or even as a party appetizer. 

So, gather your ingredients, channel your inner TikTok chef, and get ready to savor the incredible blend of savory, tangy, and cheesy goodness that these tacos offer!
