THE BIG MAC SAUCE
A Big Mac just wouldn’t be the same without its famous Big Mac Sauce! That unmistakable pink hue is truly iconic, and you might be surprised at how easy it is to recreate. In fact, many burger sauces share similar ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- mayonnaise
- ketchup
- mustard
- pickle relish
- white vinegar
- sugar
- onion powder
- paprika
- garlic powder
- white pepper
That’s all there is to it – just these ingredients. Simply combine all the ingredients, and you’ll have a lusciously thick sauce with tiny relish specks. It’s a delightful blend of sweetness and tanginess. It’s worth noting that the authentic recipe calls for sweet pickle relish, but I used regular relish, which is why I added sugar. If you have sweet pickle relish, there’s no need to include sugar!
ASSEMBLING THE TACOS
If you’re new to making tacos using this technique, it might seem a bit unconventional at first. However, trust in the process, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Here’s what you’ll require for this step:
- 80/20 Ground beef
- Mini flour tortillas for tacos
- Salt
- Black pepper
Grab a small handful portion of raw ground beef, roughly a quarter-cup, and distribute it evenly over a tortilla to coat the entire surface. Aim for a thin layer, as Big Mac patties are typically quite thin. Afterward, add a dash of salt and black pepper, and continue this process until you’ve utilized all the ground beef.
COOKING THE TACOS
Now, it’s time to bring those tacos to life! Rest assured, even though the meat is on a tortilla, it cooks through perfectly.
Choose your preferred cooking surface, whether it’s a skillet, pan, or griddle. Place the taco with the meat side down on a preheated skillet over medium heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked. Flip it over, reduce the heat, and add a slice of American cheese on top. Cover it to let the cheese melt and the bottom tortilla crisp up. Once done, remove it from the pan, and top it with lettuce, pickles, white onion, and a generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce. It’s time to savor the goodness!
