Ingredients

• For the burger sauce/Big Mac sauce:
  
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
    
    

  • 4 tablespoons pickle relish
    
    

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
    
    

  • ½ tablespoon white vinegar
    
    

  • 1¼ teaspoon paprika
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    
    

• For the tacos:
  
  

  • 4 flour tortillas (6-inch size)
    
    

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
    
    

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
    
    

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
    
    

  • 4 slices American cheese (or your preferred cheese)
    
    

  • 1 small onion, diced
    
    

  • Dill pickle chips
    
    

  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
    
    

Directions

1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and set aside.
   
   

2. Prepare the ground beef: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Lay a tortilla on your work surface and spread one portion of the beef evenly across the surface, covering the entire tortilla. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   

3. Cook the patties: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with oil. Place the tortilla, beef side down, on the skillet and press down with a spatula to form a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip and cook for another 1-3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt.
   
   

4. Assemble the tacos: Remove the taco from the skillet and repeat the process for the remaining tacos. Once all tacos are cooked, assemble them by adding lettuce, diced onions, pickles, and the Big Mac sauce on top.
   
   

5. Serve: Serve the smash burger tacos immediately while hot.
