Keto Smashed Burger Tacos
Enjoying fast-food while on Keto may appear challenging, but with the increasing popularity of Keto recipes, you can enjoy your favorite comfort foods without compromising the taste or your net carb intake. These Keto “Big Mac” inspired smashed tacos are made with Low-carb tortilla wraps, filled with ground beef, lettuce, onions, pickles, and a drizzle of a delicious sauce that will leave you craving more. This cross between the popular fast food meal and Mexican tacos combines the best of both worlds.
How to Make It
Step 1
To a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, vinegar, black pepper, pickle brine, and ¼ tsp salt. Mix together using a whisk until well combined. Thinly shred the lettuce, slice the onion, and slice the pickles.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, add the ground beef, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix to combine using a fork. Divide the ground beef into 6 equal balls.
Step 3
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, lay the tortillas out on a tray or plate then press the beef balls into a thin layer onto each tortilla. Add the avocado oil to the pan.
Step 4
Place the tortillas beef side down on the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes. The beef should be completely cooked through with no pink left. You may need to work in batches if your pan is small.
Step 5
Flip the tortilla and add the cheddar cheese slice to each tortilla. Cover until the cheese melts onto the ground beef. Repeat with the remaining tacos.
Step 6
Add the lettuce to the tacos followed by the onion and pickles. Then, drizzle the Big Mac sauce on the tacos.
Step 7
Serve right away. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro. Store any leftover tacos in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
