A low-carb, keto-friendly twist on the classic Big Mac, featuring juicy smash burger patties, a homemade Big Mac sauce, and zero-carb tortillas.

  • Total Time: 21-23 minutes
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Street taco-sized keto zero-carb tortillas

Ground beef

Slices of American cheese

Shredded lettuce

Dill pickle slices

Garlic powder

Mayonnaise

Finely chopped dill pickles

Yellow mustard

Sugar-free ketchup

Vinegar

Paprika

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Big Mac sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, yellow mustard, sugar-free ketchup, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cook the burgers: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into small, loose balls and place them on the hot surface. Smash them down with a spatula to create thin patties. Season with garlic powder and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  3. Assemble the burgers: Place a keto tortilla on a flat surface. Add a cooked beef patty, then a slice of American cheese. Top with shredded lettuce, dill pickle slices, and a generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce. Repeat with additional layers if desired. Top with another tortilla.
  4. Serve: Serve the keto Big Mac smash burgers immediately while the patties are hot and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Cheese options: You can swap American cheese for cheddar or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
  • For extra flavor and texture, consider adding more ground beef to your smash burger.
  • If you’re not a fan of dill pickles, you can replace them with cucumber slices or even avocado for a creamier texture.
  • For a spicy version, add a few slices of jalapeƱos.
  • To make this even lower in carbs, you can skip the tortillas and make a ‘bun-less’ version using lettuce leaves for wrapping.
