Serves4

Ingredients

  • 8 small flour tortillas (street-taco size)
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 slices American cheese, halved
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup white onion, diced
  • 16 dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle brine
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Big Mac sauce: whisk the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, pickle brine, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Set aside (best made 1 hour ahead).
  2. Portion the ground beef into eight 2-oz balls. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  3. Place a beef ball in the center of a tortilla and salt it generously. Put it salt-face down on the hot skillet with the tortilla on top, then smash the beef flat to about 1/8 inch. Cook until the beef is crusty and the tortilla is golden, then flip.
  4. Lay a half-slice of American cheese on the meat and cook 30 seconds more. Top with Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onion, and two pickle slices; fold and serve hot.
