WHAT IS A SMASH BURGER TACO?

At the heart of these tacos lies the flavorful smash burger patty. A smash burger is created by pressing a ball of ground beef onto a hot griddle or skillet, allowing it to sear and develop a crispy exterior while maintaining juiciness inside. 

This technique creates a texture that perfectly complements the taco concept. This isn’t however your classic taco with pico de gallo and sour cream.

HOW TO MAKE THE BIG MAC STYLE TACOS

HOW TO STORE THE BIG MAC TACO RECIPE

To store the TikTok-Inspired Big Mac Smash Burger Tacos, follow these guidelines to maintain their freshness:
  • If you have leftover tacos, refrigerate them promptly to keep them safe and maintain their flavors.
  • Transfer the tacos to an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • Before serving, gently reheat the tacos in a skillet or air fryer until warmed through.

CAN I USE ANY TYPE OF TORTILLA SHELL?

Yes, the flour tortillas tend to hold up better, but the corn ones will also work.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN THE MEAT IS COOKED THROUGH?

You shouldn’t need more than 3 minutes. When smashing the burger they become super thin patties so they cook relatively quickly.

CAN THE TACOS GET SOGGY FROM THE BURGER GREASE?

As the burger cooks, some of the grease from the beef patties can affect the tortilla shells. This is why we cook the tortilla side on high heat after flipping the burger patty side over.

If you find that doesn’t work, you can crisp up your tortillas after the beef is cooked on them in a separate heated skillet for a minute over high heat.

The fusion of the classic Big Mac flavors with the taco concept is a delightful twist that is sure to impress your taste buds. These tacos are perfect for casual gatherings, weeknight dinners, or even as a party appetizer. 

So, gather your ingredients, channel your inner TikTok chef, and get ready to savor the incredible blend of savory, tangy, and cheesy goodness that these tacos offer!
