The Taco That Thinks It’s a 🍔 (And We’re Obsessed)

Happy Taco Tuesday!

We’ve been hearing whispers (okay, full-on foodie screams) about the Big Mac Taco taking over the internet. So naturally, we grabbed our detective hats and deep-dived into the deliciousness. That trail of burger-y taco clues? It led us straight to pitmaster legend Heath Riles and his beefy, cheesy, saucy masterpiece.

💥 Spoiler: His take on Big Mac sauce is straight-up taco sorcery.

👇 Scroll down and prepare your tastebuds. This one’s gonna change Taco Night forever.

Heath Riles Big Mac Taco

Recipe By: Heath Riles
🔥 Heath Riles has been firing up grills since age 18—and never looked back. This BBQ boss has 70+ championship wins, sauces that slap, and rubs so good they’ve made skeptics believers. Memphis, KC, steaks—he’s mastered them all. Pit-master? More like flavor wizard with a side of smoke! 🌮🔥

INGREDIENTS
Tortillas
Ground beef
Heath Riles BBQ Beef Rub
Sliced or Shredded Cheddar cheese
All American Burger Sauce

TOPPINGS
Diced White Onion
Shredded Lettuce

BURGER SAUCE
2 tbsp Ketchup
1 tbsp Mustard
3-4 tbsp Mayonnaise
Chopped Pickles
2 tbsp The W Sauce
1-2 tbsp Heath Riles BBQ Beef Rub

INSTRUCTIONS
HEAT up a griddle or non-stick pan. I greased the griddle with a dollop of Bacon Up Bacon Grease.

FORM the burgers. To form the Big Mac Tacos, I laid a tortilla on the cutting board and placed a meat patty over the top. Using my hands, I smashed the meat into the tortilla until it formed a thin layer that covered the entire surface.

MAKE the All American Burger Sauce. In a small mixing bowl, I combined diced pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, W Sauce, and a sprinkle of Heath Riles BBQ Beef Rub until homogenous.

ADD seasoning. I sprinkled Heath Riles BBQ Beef Rub over the Big Mac Tacos to add a burst of flavor. You can go heavy-handed with this seasoning because you aren’t seasoning both sides.

MAKE the Big Mac Tacos. I laid the tortillas, meat-side down, on the griddle and gently pressed them down. I let each Big Mac Taco sear until golden, then flipped it.

ADD cheese. I sprinkled the Big Mac Tacos with shredded cheddar cheese and let the tacos go until the cheese was semi-melted. Be sure to watch the video to see my hack for getting the gooiest cheese ever!

ASSEMBLE the Big Mac Tacos. I removed the Big Mac Tacos from the griddle and placed them on a butcher paper lined baking tray. To assemble the tacos, I drizzled a spoonful of All American Burger Sauce over the top, followed by a little onion, and shredded lettuce. Now that’s a taco! The only thing left is to fold the taco in half and dig in!
