Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 366kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef
- 4 Small Tortillas I use almond flour tortillas
- 12 Slices Cheese I use sharp white cheddar
- ½ Cup Pickles chopped
- 1 Cup Shredded Lettuce
Big Mac Sauce
- ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Relish
- ¼ Cup Sweet Onion chopped
- ½ Tablespoon Paprika
- ½ Tablespoon Onion Powder
- ½ Tablespoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, sweet relish, chopped onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth. For an extra-smooth sauce, blend for 10 to 15 seconds. Chop the dill pickles and shred the iceberg lettuce so everything is ready for quick assembly.
- Divide 1 pound of lean ground beef into four loose 4-ounce balls. Press each ball evenly onto an almond flour tortilla to form a thin patty. Heat a medium pan over medium heat with a light drizzle of oil or butter until hot.
- Place one beef-topped tortilla in the hot pan, beef side down. Cook for 5 minutes without moving it until the edges are crispy. Flip the taco so the tortilla is on the bottom, top the beef with sharp cheddar, cover, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Transfer the cooked taco to a plate and repeat with the remaining portions. Spread each taco with Big Mac sauce, then top with chopped pickles and shredded lettuce. Serve immediately while the tortillas are crisp.
Notes
- Hot Pan: Ensure the pan is properly heated so the beef sears and develops crispy edges.
- Press Firmly: Smash the meat with firm pressure to create browning and flavor.
- Don't Flip Early: Cook 5 full minutes before flipping to form a crust.
- Choose the Right Cheese: American cheese melts quickly for authenticity; sharp cheddar offers a bolder flavor.
