Big Mac Tacos
Big Mac tacos are a great way to add a new twist to Taco Tuesdays. Are they burgers? Are they tacos? They're both, and they're delicious!
Tacos and burgers, especially the ever-popular Big Mac, are two of the world's best comfort foods, in my opinion. So I thought to myself, "Self, why don't we combine a Big Mac and a taco and see what happens?" The result? Pure deliciousness.
Big Mac Tacos
I've always been a huge fan of Big Macs. When I was in high school, I practically lived off of them. Whenever I was hungry while I was out and about, I'd slide into the McDonald's drive-through and order one. Now that I've mastered the art of creating those classic flavors, I love putting them into just about anything, including these tacos.
