Prepare the taco shells: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions.

Season the beef with a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ground beef.

Cook the tacos: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place 2-3 prepared tortillas, beef-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and crispy. Flip the tortillas and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the tortilla is lightly golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more olive oil as needed.

Assemble and serve: To assemble each Big Mac Taco, top the melted cheese with a generous amount of shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced dill pickles, and diced yellow onion.
