BIG MAC TAQUITOS RECIPE

First, prepare the Big Mac Sauce: Mix 1 cup creamy mayo, 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish, 1 1/2 teaspoons mild mustard, 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder in a bowl. Set aside.

Now, for the taquitos: Sauté the ground beef in a pan until fully cooked. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix in 4 slices of American cheese until it's all melty and delightful.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F or heat oil to 385°F for deep frying.

Lay out 8 flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the cooked ground beef and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll them up, ensuring they’re snug and tight.

If air frying: Spritz your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Position roll-ups seam down, ensuring they have personal space. Spritz the tops again. Fry them in phases for 8-10 minutes or until they wear a crispy tan. Midway, give them a flip to even out that golden glow.

If deep frying: Fry the taquitos until golden brown.

Once cooked, let them rest a tad. Layer the tops of the taquitos with 1 cup shredded lettuce, 1/2 cup diced onions, and 1/2 cup diced pickles. Drizzle the prepared Big Mac Sauce on top (using about 1/4 cup total for the taquitos). Serve while they’re still sizzling, with some extra Big Mac Sauce on standby for dipping fun!
