If you love Big Macs, tacos, and smashed burgers then this is going to make you smile. If you’re a coeliac and can’t eat Maccas, well this is really going to make you happy! It is the perfect way to enjoy all the flavours a Big Mac has to offer, minus the gluten, minus the sugar load, and minus the unhealthy fats.
Helpful Tips
Preheat the pan
The beef is thin and needs to be cooked fast and over high heat, so preheating the pan will create the perfect juicy patty without drying it out.
Keeping them warm
As you make all the tacos, it’s a great idea to keep them warm in the oven under low heat, about 100C fan forced.
Use melting cheese
Burger cheese or American cheddar slices is perfect as it melts fast.
INGREDIENTS
Tacos:
8 gluten-free tortillas
16 slices of burger cheese (optional to use Dairy Free alternative)
16 slices of pickles
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 small brown onion, finely diced
Beef Mixture:
500g beef mince
Generous amount of sea salt and pepper
Big Mac Sauce:
½ cup kewpie mayonnaise or whole egg mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pickles, finely diced
1 teaspoon American mustard
1 teaspoon pickle juice or white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine the Big Mac sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. Flatten the mince all the way to the edges of each tortilla and season with sea salt and pepper. Place the tortilla, and meat patty side down on a hot frying pan and over high heat cook for 2 minutes. Flip over and place 2 slices of cheese over the meat patty. Place the lid onto the pan and cook until the cheese begins to melt.
3. Remove from heat, add lettuce, pickles, and sauce. Repeat with remaining tacos. Serve immediately.
