Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 4 slices yellow American cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 8-10 dill pickle chips
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Large cast iron skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and white pepper. Refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook flour tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly charred. Keep warm under a clean towel.
  3. Divide ground beef into 4 equal balls. Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  4. Place a beef ball on the skillet and press down firmly with a spatula using parchment paper. Smash thin to about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, and top with cheese. Cook another 1-2 minutes until edges are crispy and cheese melts.
  6. Spread Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Add lettuce, onion, and pickles.
  7. Place a cheesy patty on each tortilla and fold like a taco. Serve warm with extra sauce.

Notes

Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy burgers. Let Big Mac sauce chill 30 minutes for best flavor. Skillet must be very hot before smashing burgers.
