Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to recreate that signature Big Mac flavor in a wrap:
For the Wrap:
- 1 lb ground beef (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
For the Special Sauce (Big Mac-style):
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp French dressing or ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
How to Make Them
1. Make the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together all sauce ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate while you prepare the wraps to let the flavors meld.
2. Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and pepper, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
Warm the tortillas slightly so they’re easier to fold. Spread a generous spoonful of the sauce on each tortilla. Add cooked beef, lettuce, cheese, onion, and pickles.
4. Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up like a burrito. For an extra touch, grill the wraps in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Tips & Variations
- Double-decker style: Add an extra layer of sauce and beef in the middle of the wrap to mimic the Big Mac’s middle bun.
- Low-carb option: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps instead of tortillas.
- Spicy twist: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef or special sauce for a little heat.
- Meal prep: Cook the beef and make the sauce ahead of time — just assemble and wrap when ready to eat.
