• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 8 taco shells (hard or soft)
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (for special sauce)
• 2 tablespoons ketchup (for special sauce)
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (for special sauce)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (for special sauce)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and sweet pickle relish. Mix well until smooth and set aside in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   If using hard taco shells, warm them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes. If using soft shells, warm them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.

4. 4

   Start by spreading a generous amount of special sauce inside each taco shell. Add a layer of shredded lettuce as the base.

5. 5

   Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the lettuce. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, and diced pickles.

6. 6

   Drizzle additional special sauce over the top of each taco. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Big Mac Tacos.
