8 small corn tortillas
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
100g iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 medium-sized pickles, sliced
1 small onion, finely diced
4 slices of cheddar cheese

Instructions

The making of Big Mac Tacos is simple yet thrilling, like composing a symphony with flavors that sing in harmony. Here are the steps to culinary fusion bliss:

1
In a bowl, whisk together all the special sauce ingredients until smooth and cohesive; set aside.
2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef with taco seasoning until brown and crumbly.
3
Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave, then divide the cooked beef among them.
4
Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on each taco, allowing the residual heat to melt it slightly.
5
Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, and pickle slices.
6
Drizzle each taco generously with the special sauce, and lovingly sprinkle sesame seeds over the sauce for that authentic Big Mac touch.
7
Serve immediately with a side of fries or a light salad, and bask in the glory of your culinary creation.

Chef's Tip
