Instructions

Make the Burger Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Form the Taco “Burgers”: Divide the ground beef into four portions. Spread each portion of beef into a thin, even layer on a tortilla. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Tacos: Heat oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the beef-side-down tortillas and press them with a spatula to thin them. Cook for 2-3 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip the tortillas and place a slice of cheese on the beef. Cook for another 1-3 minutes, until the tortilla is crispy.
Assemble & Serve: Transfer tacos to a plate. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickle chips, and a generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack.

Spicy Option: Add jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce for extra heat.

Vegetarian Version: Replace beef with plant-based burger patties or veggie protein.
