how to make Big Mac smash burger tacos with sauce
Start by making the sauce; mix together all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Combine ground beef, onion powder, salt and pepper into a bowl.
Press a little bit more than a tablespoon of the beef mixture onto the tortillas. Have them all ready and laid out before you begin cooking.
Preheat a skillet over high heat and add a bit of oil to the pan; it should be very hot. Place one tortilla with the beef mixture side down. Flatten it with a spatula. Cook for 1-2 minutes and flip.
Place cheese slice on top of the beef and cover with a lid for about 30 seconds to help melt the cheese.
Remove from the pan and repeat with all the tacos. Serve with lettuce, big mac sauce and pickles.
why prep lunches for school?
To make meal planning more consistent and practical in my house, I aim to include four school lunch preps for my two kids in our weekly meal prep rotation. This helps us save money and ensure that two days of the week, the kids have well balanced meals that happen to be fun and festive, yet simple enough to put together in less than 15 minutes.
In these lunch preps I try to include a variety of colors as well as a good balance of the essential food groups so that my kids are getting exposure to different foods in a fun and exciting way! When I made these big mac tacos, both me and the kids equally loved this lunch prep.
We sure hope you enjoy this fun lunch, dinner or snack option as much as our little tribe has time and time again. Please leave us a star review and comment if you make these Big Mac smash burger tacos!
