Servings: 6 tacos
Ingredients
Big Mac Sauce
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- thin with a splash of white vinegar (about 1/2 - 1 tsp)
Tacos
- 340 grams vegan ground beef, thawed (beyond meat)
- 6 mini flour tortillas
- 6 vegan cheddar slices (or shredded cheese)
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- dill pickle slices
- sesame seeds
- fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Mix all Big Mac sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Adjust seasonings with extra pickle relish or vinegar to your taste if needed.
- Divide the vegan ground beef into six even portions. Flatten out each piece into a thin layer onto the mini flour tortillas.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the tacos beef side down (listen for that sizzling sound to confirm it's hot enough) and cook for 3-4 mins or until crispy and browned (no additional oil is needed since there is enough grease in beyond meat).
- Reduce the heat to low and flip the tacos over so that the tortilla is on the bottom, placing a slice of vegan cheese on top of the beef. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla crisps. (Note that vegan cheese may not melt as well; microwave for 30 seconds to speed up this process if desired).
- To assemble, top the tacos with shredded lettuce, pickles, and a drizzle of Big Mac sauce or use it as a dipping sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chives. Enjoy immediately.

Notes
- Thaw vegan ground beef in the fridge overnight if it is frozen. Also, you can substitute it with three Beyond Beef patties, which should equal about 340g.
- Make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time. Store it in the fridge, tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to five days.
- Trim the slice of vegan cheese into smaller squares to allow some of the beef patties to peek through, or use shredded cheese.
- Preheat your pan briefly before placing the taco beef side down. Listen for that sizzling sound to confirm it's hot enough.
