Ingredients
Ingredients in Big Mac Wraps
Here’s what makes these wraps so irresistible—simple ingredients that come together for that signature Big Mac flavor:
Ground Beef: The key to a juicy and flavorful wrap. Use lean beef or swap for turkey if you prefer a lighter option.
Tortillas: A soft flour tortilla wraps everything together, making it easy to eat on the go.
Cheese: American cheese gives that classic melty texture, but you can also try cheddar or Swiss.
Lettuce: Shredded iceberg lettuce adds that fresh crunch, just like in the original.
Pickles: Tangy pickles are a must for that signature flavor. Use dill pickles for the best taste.
Onions: Finely chopped onions add a nice bite and balance out the richness of the beef.
Special Sauce: The magic ingredient! A blend of mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, and a hint of vinegar makes this wrap taste just like the real deal.
Instructions
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable. This prevents them from breaking when you wrap them.
Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous amount of special sauce over each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickles, and cheese.
Add the Beef: Spoon the cooked beef evenly over the toppings.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, just like a burrito.
Toast for Extra Flavor (optional): For a crispy finish, lightly toast the wraps in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.
Serve and Enjoy: Cut in half and dig in while it’s warm and melty!

How to Serve Big Mac Wraps
These wraps are delicious on their own, but you can take them to the next level by pairing them with:
- French Fries: Keep it classic with crispy homemade or frozen fries.
- Coleslaw: A refreshing, crunchy side that complements the richness of the wrap.
- Potato Wedges: Baked or air-fried for a healthier option.

- Meal prep friendly—cook the beef ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick assembly later.
- Extra cheesy? Melt an extra slice of cheese directly on the beef while it’s still warm.
- Double the sauce—trust me, you’ll want extra for dipping!
