Ingredients

For the Big Mac wraps:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 4 slices American cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce

• 1/4 cup pickles, sliced

• 1/4 cup diced onions

For the Big Mac sauce:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons ketchup

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles or pickle relish

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Make the Big Mac sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, chopped pickles (or pickle relish), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Set aside.

2. Cook the beef:

• In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the beef is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), drain any excess fat.

3. Assemble the wraps:

• Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.

• Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the Big Mac sauce down the center of the tortilla.

• Layer with a portion of the cooked beef, a slice of American cheese (allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the beef), shredded lettuce, pickles, and diced onions.

4. Wrap and serve:

• Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, securing the filling inside.

• Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. For added convenience, you can wrap them in parchment paper or foil for a portable meal.

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 4 wraps

• Prep time: 10 minutes

• Cook time: 10 minutes

Variations

1. Make it healthier: Use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla, and reduce the sauce for a lighter option.

2. Double the sauce: If you love the Big Mac sauce, feel free to double the amount for extra drizzling or dipping.

3. Chicken version: Replace the beef with grilled or crispy chicken tenders for a chicken Big Mac wrap.

4. Extra veggies: Add tomatoes, avocado, or shredded carrots for more texture and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different kind of cheese?

Yes, you can use any cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss, though American cheese is the traditional choice for a Big Mac.

2. Can I make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the Big Mac sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. This allows the flavors to meld even more.

3. Can I make these wraps vegetarian?

Yes! Replace the ground beef with plant-based meat or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian version of this wrap.

4. Can I add more vegetables to the wrap?

Definitely! Feel free to add more vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to enhance the flavor and texture.

5. Can I freeze these wraps?

You can freeze the assembled but unwrapped wraps. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to eat.

6. How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?

To ensure your wraps stay intact, be sure to fold the sides in before rolling the wrap tightly. You can also use a toothpick to secure it while serving.

7. Can I make this wrap with ground turkey or chicken?

Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be used as a substitute for beef for a lighter version of this wrap. Make sure to season the meat well to maintain flavor.

8. How can I make this wrap spicier?

For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños to the filling, or mix a bit of sriracha into the Big Mac sauce.

9. Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, you can use gluten-free tortillas, spinach wraps, or even lettuce wraps for a lower-carb version.

10. How do I slice the wrap evenly?

To slice the wrap evenly, use a sharp knife and cut it at a slight angle. This will give you a clean cut and make it easier to eat.
