Ingredients

Scale

Burgers

  • 8 Street Taco-Sized Keto Zero Carb Tortillas
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices American Cheese

Toppings

  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Dill Pickle Slices

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Finely chopped Dill Pickles
  • 1 1/2 tsp Yellow Mustard
  • 3 tsp Sugar-Free Ketchup
  • 1/4 tsp Vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the burgers.
  2. Season Ground Beef: Add ground beef to a mixing bowl along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Knead gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Form Meat Balls: Separate the meat mixture into 8 evenly sized balls for uniform cooking.
  4. Assemble Patties: Press one ball of the meat mixture onto the front side of each keto tortilla, spreading until it covers the entire surface of the tortilla.
  5. Repeat Assembly: Repeat the pressing step with all remaining meat balls and tortillas to prepare all patties.
  6. Cook Patties: Place the tortillas meat-side down onto the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, using a spatula to smash and flatten the patties thoroughly.
  7. Flip and Add Cheese: Carefully flip each burger, place a slice of American cheese on top, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to crisp the tortilla and melt the cheese.
  8. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, stir together mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, yellow mustard, sugar-free ketchup, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  9. Dress Burgers: Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce over each cooked smash burger.
  10. Add Toppings: Top each burger with shredded lettuce and two dill pickle slices to complete the classic Big Mac flavor profile.

Notes

  • Use keto-friendly tortillas to keep the recipe low-carb and suitable for a ketogenic diet.
  • Smashing the patties thin on the tortillas ensures maximum crispiness and flavor.
  • Feel free to adjust seasoning and toppings to your preference.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on skillet and stove heat.
  • For extra flavor, adding a dash of smoked paprika or onion powder to the meat mixture can enhance taste.
