I did it.
The viral Big Mac reel going around the internet caught my attention and here we areā¦

Why it grabbed me I have no idea.
Iām a chicken nuggets kinda girl and even that only happens 3x/year if that.
I gotta say I do love this fast food fix!
Itās easier and tastier than you would think. Go on now, give it a go.
ingredients
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1lb lean ground beef
not so secret sauce
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp grated onion
- 2 tbsp sweet relish
- 1/2 tsp each: salt, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder
- 1 tbsp ketchup – I knowā¼ļø so controversial š¬
this is how we do it
Oh my gosh this recipe is so easy and fun!
Start by mixing up all the sauce items in a small bowl. Ketchup is being argued over. Some say itās not supposed to be added. I say you do you boo.
1. Split 1 lb of ground beef into 6 equal pieces.
2. Smush the meat onto the tortillas like so:

3. Salt and pepper generously and place meat side down onto a hot pan.
I lift up the tortilla every once in awhile to check for doneness. You do want a bit of pink when you flip it over.

4. Flip over gently letting the juice drain out. Now the meat side is facing up.
Add some cheese. Keep checking bottom for a nice dark golden toasty look.
5. Remove onto a wire rack to dry up a bit.

6. Add your toppings (pickles, onions, tomato, lettuce) also possibly mustard and ketchup.

7. Fold up, slather on that Big Mac sauce and dig in!
As good as these were, they were difficult to stand up (ok impossible) and crazy messy.

I saved the leftovers ( no toppings just cheese) flat in the original tortilla package with parchment paper in between.
Flat like this: only on top of each other.

When it came time to reheat these puppies I stared a good long while at them.
How was this going to happen?

Got it.
Like this in the air fryer.:

Put them in the air fryer on the reheat setting (150C for 15 minutes) propped up on some parchment paper between 2 upside down silicone muffin cups.

Lookā¼ļø Standup perfection ensued and they were even better (looking) the next day.

These brought so much weird excitement to the table Iāll definitely be making them again.
Also if youāve never seen Bobās Burgers š youāre missing out. Go watch it and have a good laugh.
