Prepare the taco shells: Take a small portion of ground beef (about 2 ounces or a golf ball size) and flatten it very thinly and evenly over one side of each mini flour tortilla, covering the entire surface. Season the beef generously with the garlic powder, onion salt, and kosher salt.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the beef-covered tortillas into the pan, beef-side down. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked through and nicely browned and crispy.

Flip the tortillas to the uncooked side. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the tortilla to crisp up slightly. Immediately place one slice of American cheese on top of the cooked beef. Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute to help the cheese melt perfectly. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cooking in batches as needed.

Assemble the Big Mac Tacos: Transfer the cooked tortillas with melted cheese to a serving plate. Top each with a generous amount of shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced dill pickles, and diced yellow onion. Drizzle a liberal amount of the prepared Big Mac Sauce over the toppings.
