Big Mac Smash Tacos

Estee
My family is obsessed with burgers, and these are the most fun take on a normal burger I've made- ever. I love how easy they are to prep, and how quick it all comes together, not to mention the flavour. Omg! Just wait till you try a hot one!

Ingredients
  

Burgers:

  • 12 mini tortilla rounds
  • 1 lbs ground meat
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ Tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ Tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ Tbsp ketchup

Smash Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 2 Tbsp hot sauce or sriracha
  • 4 Tbsp mustard relish or sweet relish
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke optional

For serving:

  • 1-2 cup iceberg lettuce very thinly sliced, or regular lettuce
  • 2 to matoes sliced
  • ¼ cup pickles diced
  • One small red onion diced
  • Caramelised onion optional

Instructions
 

  • Begin with the smash sauce. Add all ingredients to a small container and mix well to combine. If you want a smooth sauce, blend it.
  • For the burgers, add ground meat and spices to a medium sized bowl and mix well. I wear gloves to do this.
  • Lay out the tortillas. Press a round of meat (about ¼ cup) on the centre of a tortilla and press it onto the tortilla to cover the whole side. Make sure it adheres well at the edges.
  • Heat up a griddle or large skillet and add a drizzle of oil. The pan has to be nice and hot and the oil shimmering when you add the burgers or the meat will stick. Flip the tortillas in one swift motion meat-face down in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Using a wide spatula that fits most of the burger, carefully flip each one and fry the tortilla bottom another 1-2 minutes, until it is golden.
  • Remove from heat and add toppings. Dollop over smash sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

To make ahead of time, fully cook the burger tacos, and place in a single layer in a container. Top with parchment paper before adding a second layer. Reheat in a single layer in the oven, skillet, or plata. Add toppings right before serving, or bring the toppings to the table for a make-your-own burger smash party.
