Hi friends! I’m back with another meal for you! These are not my recipes, but ones that I found on the internet and tried, and am here to tell you about. File under updates you never asked for.

Tonight’s dinner was Big Mac smashed tacos, and I served them with fries (of course).

First off, ever since I tried making tortillas, it feels stupid to buy them so I made them for this meal. Here’s the recipe from The Cafe Sucre Farine. I prefer this recipe because it calls for neutral oil, which is my personal preference. I wanted mine to be a little smaller for this particular recipe so I portioned 24 instead of 16. It worked perfectly.

Also regarding the tortillas: a lot of times you’ll see that you should roll them out rather than using the tortilla press. If you’re making larger ones that may be the case. However, I found while making these smaller ones that I was able to use my press (like this one) to make perfectly thin tortillas. (affiliate link) The trick is to rotate it and press a couple times. Just a little tip from me if you don’t want to roll them out!

For the mac sauce I followed this recipe from Daring Gourmet. I did omit the onion because I made this recipe with leftovers in mind and didn’t want the flavors to be too overpowering as it sat overnight. I added a little extra onion powder to compensate. In my opinion, this is the closest dupe that I’ve found. It was so good.

I roughly followed this method for the burgers from Mary’s Whole Life. Looking at the photo I realized I forgot to add the pickles to mine, but that I can remedy tomorrow.

I used ground chicken instead of beef because it cost about 1/2 the price per pound, and my budget needed a break. I seasoned the meat with the smash burger seasoning from McCormick. Big Mac smashed tacos hit the craving without feeling overly heavy. I’ll definitely come back to it in the future.

Thanks to my youngest Reese for helping with the photos for this post.
