Wes, never think we want you to go shorter, we love you just the way you are and your delightfully authentic presentation style is absolutely a highlight of your channel. Never change Wes, you are perfect already! 💗💗💗

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thank you so much for those very kind words. 🧡🧡🙂🙂

[@iamenvymetoo]

I love when you take that first bite and give the camera a "come hither" look lol

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

🫣🫣🙃

[@josephlarsen]

lol right? every time

[@jasontwiddy3413]

I used to work at McDonalds, and the patties that go on an actual big mac are 1/10 of a pound pre cooked weight, so if you wanted authenticity you could get 10 patties out of a pound (they also only cook for 38 seconds from frozen solid to totally done which used up amaze me😊

[@rebecaw.489]

It's also cooked from both sides at the same time. That's how they get it to cook so quickly

[@jasontwiddy3413]

@@rebecaw.489 this is true. I made these tacos... they are awesome

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Yumm! I've been making Big Mac Tacos, but a slightly different version) for over 20 years! They were easy to switch to low carb/keto just by switching out the tortillas, the relish and the ketchup (I make my sauce with a little ketchup, too). In my version, the burgers are cooked and the tortillas warmed and lightly crisped separately. I just make larger, thinner 1/4 lb burgers (slightly larger than the tortillas) and cook, topping with cheese after I flip. Then I let the burgers rest while I toast the tortillas, making sure they're still pliable or make them a little more done and drape them to create a hard taco shell, if you prefer. Cut each burger in half, giving two half moon shapes, and insert into the folded tortilla cut edge down. Then add your toppings and each person gets two!

[@patriciavavra7375]

Cooking raw meat on a tortilla doesn't sound appealing to me so I will try it your way. Thanks.

[@jjudy5869]

Wes, the reason I choose to watch you over some of the other Keto folks is because of your conversation. Don't shut-up!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thank you, Judy! I appreciate that. 🧡🧡🙃🙃

[@LiveWellUkraine]

Please don't ever "shut up". We love the channel!

[@CNCFemale]

you talk all you want, wes!!! thats why we like you, you tell us EVERYTHING!!!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

🧡🧡🙃🙃

[@debrageorge8399]

"I can't shut up" You are too funny!

[@TheLuminousstarlight]

I commented to soon, I should have waited until the video ended 😂 I wanted to say when I can't find SF pickles I buy regular unsweetened pickles and just add sweetner when I get home. I like the pickle slices (the big ones) and I can't ever find those SF. I use liquid sweetner but I think any would probably work. So if you can't find relish just add sweetner ❤

[@CNCFemale]

thats what i was thinking too

[@hoptoi]

Great idea! Why didn’t I ever think of that? I did think of making my own Sugar free cowboy candy, which is sweet pickled jalapeños. Yum!

[@ArtysMorgan]

Vlasic makes a no sugar added sweet relish and it's really good!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

I saw the Vlasic No Sugar Added too, but the second ingredient is high fructose corn syrup, so I avoided it. :-(

[@vivianspringer5142]

Yes I had heard try regular dill relish, then add sweetener a little attached time for your level of sweet.

[@rebecaw.489]

If you want to reduce the amount that the meat swells in the middle, flatten the center a bit more than the edges. That way, when it swells while cooking, it evens out in the end 😊

[@klharris391]

Never was a Big Mac fan, but I can see making this recipe, just to have a simple hamburger. Thanks for another good idea, Wes. 😊

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Same. I think I didn’t like them growing up because they simply had too much bread with that middle bun. This solves that! :-)

[@ZannaTaylor]

Love these!!! I put the meat on one half like a half circle so I can bend better. But, I LOVE your take on the sauce. I'm making these tonight with the new sauce version. Thx Wes 🧡

[@morpheusjones4753]

Ironically, I made a couple of these last night! They were delicious!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Great minds think alike! :-)

[@christineconley7903]

I'm wondering if you put a lid on the fry pan after you added the onions and the cheese, if it would help to heat up the onions and melt the cheese a little bit better

[@sherryrethwisch9589]

Can't wait to make these because its been decades since I had a Big Mac. You had me salivating. And I need a good skillet so will be ordering the Made In. Thanks for another great video!!

[@InTheMiddleOfAForest]

Brava! These little cuties could be the perfect appetizer. Thanks again Wes!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

They are so tasty!

[@loribrick519]

I have made these with egglife wraps..yumm

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Great idea!

[@TheLuminousstarlight]

We make these all the time!! We love them 😍

[@michaelnance5236]

Awesome video! I used 73/27 ground beef and resting them on a plate with paper towels, turned out great.

[@tornadotj2059]

These are delicious! Hey Wes, I figured out the key to getting the meat on the tortillas. I used my tortilla press and some parchment paper. I mashed the hamburger ball on top of the tortilla, letting the meat go PAST the edges of the tortilla. This makes a very thin, pliable patty and once cooked the meat still covers most of the tortilla! It also makes putting them together extremely easy. Try it!

[@csimmons3717]

Another great video Wes! Thank you! Recipes like this give us tools to stay on course while enjoying what we eat. I made chili cheese dogs for dinner a few days ago using the zero carb tortillas, Nathan’s hotdogs, American cheese, and homemade low carb chili. They were delicious!!

[@wendydavis2509]

I just found you on KZbin. I absolutely love your videos! I just had a stroke and I also found out I have type two diabetes and it’s really hard to learn how to eat the right way. I think these videos will help a lot.❤

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Welcome, Wendy! Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health going forward! 🧡🧡

[@cheffatgrams]

None of us eat perfectly Wes and those that say they do are simply lying😉 Thanks for your awesome reviews😁

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thanks, Chef!

[@angeladiaz7746]

I may try this but I think I like the idea of using a thin burger patty instead of just cooking the ground meat for tacos as I hate messy food and this would eliminate my meat falling out after each bite

[@justonebeliever]

Great review! 😊 This reminds me of the Quesadilla Burger at Applebee's. So delicious! 😋

[@lauritan66]

Yummy! I’ve got to try this! I miss eating a Big Mac but gosh, THREE pieces of bread for the original! Thanks for sharing this video! Also, I bet the special sauce would be a great salad dressing!!

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

😂😂😂 Watching you take your first bite… I don’t eat BM, however I am going to try this recipe. I don’t like the taste of Tortillas, what low carb T did you use in this recipe? Loved your video! Looking forward to more recipes…Thank you! ❤

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

These are the La Banderita brand Zero Net Carb tortillas - “Street Taco” sized. They are by far the best in my opinion. I find them at Ralph’s/Kroger, so they should be in most large grocery stores.

[@EileenMRyan]

I make all my keto condiments. To make sweet relish- you just save the juice from your dill pickles by some baby cukes that are good for pickling cut them up or drop them up in a blender to make relish out of it drop it into the dill juice add a little bit of value, los or coconut sugar, which ever sweetener you like really And voilà you have keto sweet relish. Or skip all that and add sweetener to dill relish.

[@johnlee2692]

Dude, I'm type 1 and my wife has lovingly changed her eating habits so that I/we can eat low carb. One thing she used to eat multiple times a week was a Big Mac. She loved them and probably hasn't had one in 3 or 4 years. Made these for dinner and she was like, " It's a Big Mac!! If I could find that Wesley, I'd give him a hug!!!" Made them on a flattop at around 340 degrees for 4.5 mins and they were cooked perfectly. It's like some kind of weird magic, a burger that you don't have to flip and it's cooked. AND, what a way to just have burgers (Big Mac style or otherwise). I'm thinking bacon cheeseburger for me next time. And they're fast, so perfect for after work too. Again sir, thanks so much!!!!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

I love hearing this! Yay! 🧡🧡

[@dhayes1541]

Deidre’s bread recipe makes 10 buns that are really excellent for hamburgers.

[@1timby]

Years ago we used to cook what we called squished meat sandwiches. We had a combination waffle maker with flat griddle plates. We would take bread and place small amounts of hamburger on one piece. Add mustard thinly sliced onion, mustard, and then cheese. Cover it with a 2nd slice of bread then close the lid. You can make 4 of these things at a time. Now on to my suggestion. Why not apply the same to these? One tortilla, meat, cheese, and such. Add your condiments and then a 2nd tortilla. Then close the lid and cook. Just a thought. lol

[@lurenlabaker3455]

I do this as Big Mac bowls. No tortilla needed… just the sauce pickles, cheese, meat, and of course bacon.

[@beejereeno2]

Exactly! And those tortillas might as well just be regular, for me...they might be low carb but still full of stuff that makes my blood sugar go high

[@MJN0922]

OMG so good!!! I used the zero carb street taco shells and added a bit of tomato on top of the lettuce.... That sauce is SPOT ON! Next time I'll also have the chaffle onion rings. Thanks!

[@whittkatt]

Love these! I make thepatties paper-thin, because when you fold them, it doubles the thickness

[@mandyharrison3617]

I cannot wait to try these ! Something tells me that I am going to LOVE them !

[@judelbugsrutter6727]

Thanks Wes for putting this recipe up. Im a LCHF diabetic who cooks for myself, 2 other people with diabetes and a slightly fussy carb-muncher husband. Idk if your husband is low carb too or you guys prefer to cook separately... ive not seen all your videos yet, sometimes we eat the same and just swap the carbs for zoodles, cauli mash, cauli rice etc and sometimes its completely different ie last night we had chicken and dumplings/biscuits from CJs kitchen, the night before k si min (hes naf of 'stew' type foods) and i just did hubby a taco burger on the side. So quick and easy... hubs will eat the same things a lot when he likes them, but theres different ways to change it up slightly with inspiration from whoppas, mcFeast etc...

[@upstatechillin]

Wes, thank you! That LOOKED so good! I'm def making it! P.s. I love your videos!💜

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thank you!! It WAS good! 🧡🙃

[@katywaugh6598]

Wes, I just fall in love with you every time you send out a new video! AND I love Made In cookware SO much. I went to their Austin, Texas store and bought my first pan and BOOM! Love at first fry! This recipe looks tempting, so thank you for this and for all that you do! Hugs!

[@kathyfanchi2557]

Wes, love your videos. Don’t mind your longer videos because you are so entertaining.

[@jasminedowney2651]

i have to try these now they look delicious! I buy dills with no sugar, dice them and add allulose, works great!!!

[@david-holmes]

Looks great! I'd like to try it as a quesadilla with 3 layers like the Big Mac.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

OMG! Now you’re talking!

[@corriesites2431]

I gave up on cooking the burger on top of the tortilla. I cook the burger, and then the tortilla in the same pan. I can't tell the difference, except the burger can cook through without burn8ng the tortilla.

[@justpassinthru]

Thank you for this sponsor. I agree we have lost our American made pride and products and the quality they are(were) known for, sadly. I bought some of the other cookware you use and recommend so i know this company has to be great as well. ❤

[@Danielle33384]

Oh neat! Seems like an easy, quick meal to try.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

So good!

[@joeb.700]

If it hasn't already been said, you can buy sliced dill pickles, drain the brine into a sauce pan, heat it up on a stove and add alulose (like how you would make a simple syrup) once it's incorporated and cooled down add it back to the pickles, put it in the fridge and the next day you'll have sweet pickles that you can dice up into relish. I'm sure you can do this same process with dill pickle relish if you strain it well I just haven't tried that yet. I want to say I used maybe a half cup of alulose but that depends on how sweet you want it.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Wes, another great video. Was wondering if possibly pressing out the hamburger using a tortilla press between two pieces of parchment paper, to get it thin. Will have to try this recipe. Thank you have a great rest of your Friday and Weekend.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Yes! That would work great! And on my second batch. I folded the parchment and used my rolling pin to get the meat even and all the way to the end of the tortilla. A press would be ideal!

[@joanhamilton2651]

I'll try it!💖

[@tornadotj2059]

I've been experimenting with the sauce. This time I used dill relish and 1.5 teaspoons of allulose. Worked great! I also "cheated" this time and for the salt I used Redmond's smoked salt so it would have a little "outdoor cooking" flavor, and I really like it.

[@TheAmazona67]

I use dill relish and add monkfruit if I want is sweet.

[@neurocosm]

It's a fun convert recipe to try. YES - according to the Master Cloner (Top Secret Recipes (Todd Wilber), it's Paprika. Although I use dill pickle relish, and ad a PINCH of powdered Monk fruit, if needed - but I prefer the tang better than the sweet. It's a great big mac sauce replica!

[@toriwilson6961]

Thank you for the tip about "no sugar" sweet relish!

[@tylerhall7035]

Yum!!! that looks delicious, what is your Honest Opinion of "keto" breads..... I feel like you have shared your thoughts before?

[@amydavis7951]

We made these once on our blackstone and they were so good. Definitely need to make them again.

[@lisarenshaw1554]

Trying this tonight!!!

[@wendymoreno8668]

Great idea! LOVE your video! Looking forward to trying these. Thank you for posting another mouth-watering recipe! You are the best!!

[@stephenranti173]

I use the Dill Pickle relish and add a little bit of sweetener of your choice. Tastes GREAT!!

[@ernajuliannaprimo9745]

eat video Wes love the recipe Organic Valley makes an American cheese (slices) from grass fed and its great and melts nicely as well I make my own ketchup and mayo and use Allulose/monk fruit blend in both so zero in the sweet carb world just the tomato paste ...I use the lowest sugar (natural( content..... NC Julianna

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look for that cheese, because I love American slices! LOL

[@gwyndyr32]

If you haven't tried Hero bread, tortillas, croissants etc you should. It is dirty keto but sooooo good and no insulin spike (for me anyhow). The breads seem to be available at Sprouts Farmers Market if you have one in your area.

[@shirleymiller5056]

Love and light

[@truthinthefaceoftyranny]

I made these last year and it was a cute reminder of my childhood. But if I make it again, I want to make it Greek, using ground chicken, or lamb or pork with garlicky tzatsiki sauce thin red onion pieces and diced tomato.

[@truthinthefaceoftyranny]

and chopped lettuce

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Yum!

[@beatricewilliams8409]

Genius. I must try it.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

It’s pretty darn good! :-)

[@gen81465]

Dill Pickle Relish and add some "sweet pickle" pickling spice.

[@judelbugsrutter6727]

Ok I had the family over for dinner and cooked this tonight. It was very well received. I did cook the meat separately to the tortilla. The sussie low-carb wraps go sweaty when they're cooked together... but it's perfect when you just put them together after. It's also easier to keep everything hot if you're serving together (just grab a thermoserver, pop boiling water in it for a few minutes, toss when the first burger patty's are cooked and just keep stacking them in there till you have enough for everyone). I served tiramisu for dessert 🍨 (I hacked all day I dream about food's to make it strawberry flavour). It was a truly lovely evening.

[@concernedgreatly5291]

I luv these tacos. I make them with ground turkey. Luv the expression on your face❤
