These delicious tacos combine the classic flavors of McDonald's Big Mac with the fun of a taco. Thin seasoned beef patties are smashed onto tortillas for a crispy texture, then topped with melted American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, onions, and a copycat Big Mac sauce.

Instructions
Divide the beef into 12 equal portions and roll into a ball.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and place a portioned ball of beef in the center.
Using clean hands, press the meat onto the tortilla being sure to flatten it out to the edges.
Season the beef with burger seasoning or salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1/2 the oil, heating until shimmering.
Add as many tortillas as will fit without crowding the pan, beef side down.
Cook without touching them for 2-3 minutes or until the beef becomes golden brown and crusty. Flip the tacos over and lower the heat to medium low.
While the tacos are cooking, top the cooked patties with a slice of cheese on each, then cover with a lid.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the pan and keep warm in a low oven or serve immediately with your favorite burger toppings.
To finish the Big Mac tacos, add pickles, Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and an optional sprinkle toasted sesame seeds.
