Okay, hear me out—Big Mac Tacos.

It sounds indulgent (and it totally tastes like it), but this homemade version is made with real, clean ingredients you can feel good about. I first made these on a Friday night when I was craving something fun and fast—but didn’t want to hit the drive-thru. They were such a hit, they instantly became a family favorite.

These tacos are high in protein, easy to make, and taste just like your favorite burger... but in a handheld, better-for-you form.

Ingredients

For the Ground Beef:

• 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Special Sauce:

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp avocado mayo

• 1 tsp mustard

• 1 tsp ketchup (no sugar added)

• 1 tsp chopped pickles or relish

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp paprika

• Salt, to taste

For Assembly:

• 6 small whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas

• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce

• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

• 1/4 cup chopped pickles

• 1/4 cup diced onion

• Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix all the special sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust. Set aside.

2. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.

3. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

4. Assemble your tacos: Layer ground beef onto each tortilla, drizzle with special sauce, and top with shredded lettuce, cheese, diced onion, and pickles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using (it’s a fun Big Mac nod!).

Why I Love These Tacos

They’re nostalgic, fun, and totally satisfying—but made with ingredients that don’t leave me feeling gross afterward. This recipe proves you can recreate your fast food favorites at home and make them clean, energizing, and family-approved.

When I started focusing on feeling good after meals—not just during—recipes like this made all the difference. It’s comfort food made better.
