“Big Mac” Tacos! (Recipe below)
These were SO GOOOOOOOD 🤤 plus not unhealthy if you choose good taco tortillas like keto ones and don’t add a ton of sauce!!
INGREDIENTS (to make 12 tacos)
-12 taco tortillas (I used low carb ones, doesn’t matter really)
-4 vegan burgers. I used HEURA, a really good spanish brand. They taste like real beef burgers (non vegans agree!) so choose some similar brand if you don’t have this one available!
-VIOLIFE high protein cheddar. It tastes great and the plus on protein is amazing. Other melt friendly vegan cheeses would also work.
-sweet & sour pickles (I used around 6 I think)
-lettuce, a bunch
-purple onion, around half to 3/4
SAUCE:
You can pour it over OR dip the tacos in the sauce! To manage how much I’m eating I prefer to pour it but the other way is soooo good
-Vegan mayo (I use Hellman’s)
-Mustard
-Ketchup
-Sriracha (only if you like spicy)
PREPARATION
Cut each burger in 3 equal pieces. You’re gonna mash each piece into each taco tortilla, to make it cover most of it as in the picture. Cook on a sheet pan each one for just around 3-4 minutes. Depending on the brand of vegan burger you’re using this might vary a little bit. I greased woth a bit of extra virgin olive oil as needed.
Now add half a slice of violife’s cheese on top of each taco (over the burger) and cook it on the pan, with the cheese looking upwards, putting a lid over so it melts nicely and the tortilla goldens. It should take no more than 3 minutes per taco, but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
Thinly chop the onion and lettuce, and slice the pickles. Add them all to the tacos, over the cheese.
Make the sauce mixing all the ingredients. I eyeball it, trying it until I like it. The final color should be pink-orangey
Add some chilli flakes and garlic powder on top, and you’re done!!
