Made the viral Big Mac tacos for dinner tonight I had all the condiments so for everything else it came out to around $12.
I took some ground beef and seasoned it with salt and pepper, took a tortilla and smashed some of the ground beef onto it. I cooked both sides, added American cheese, then topped it with chopped romaine, onions, and sauce.
For the sauce I used mayo, dijon mustard, sweet relish, a little bit of ketchup, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper
I served with homemade french fries

Instructions:
Big Mac Tacos:
- Season and Cook the Ground Beef:
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s fully cooked and browned.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together mayo, dijon mustard, sweet relish, ketchup, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet and spoon a portion of the seasoned ground beef onto the center of the tortilla.
- Flatten the beef with a spatula and cook for a couple of minutes until it starts to brown.
- Place a slice of American cheese on top of the beef and let it melt.
- Remove the taco from the skillet and top with chopped romaine lettuce, diced onions, and a generous drizzle of the prepared sauce.
- Serve:
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Serve the Big Mac Tacos hot, with a side of homemade french fries.
Homemade French Fries:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin fries. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season and Toss:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, and paprika (if using), ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake:
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not crowded to allow them to crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the hot and crispy homemade french fries alongside the Big Mac Tacos.
