 Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:

  • 1 lb (500 g) ground beef (preferably 85% lean)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Big Mac Sauce (copycat version):

  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 1 tablespoon sweet relish (or finely chopped sweet pickles)

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika

For the Wrap Assembly:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)

  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese (or processed American cheese)

  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

  • 1 medium tomato (optional), thinly sliced

  • 8 pickle slices

  • Sesame seeds (optional, for tortilla garnish)

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Big Mac Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (the flavors develop even better if chilled for 30 minutes).

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.

  3. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until fully browned and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes).

  4. Drain excess fat if needed and keep warm.

Step 3: Prepare the Tortillas

  1. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.

  2. (Optional) For that Big Mac look, brush the top side of each tortilla lightly with water and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a tortilla flat and spread 1 generous tablespoon of Big Mac sauce in the center.

  2. Add a handful of shredded lettuce.

  3. Spoon on a quarter of the beef mixture.

  4. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top.

  5. Add 2 pickle slices and tomato slices if using.

  6. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly like a burrito.

Step 5: Toast the Wraps (Optional but Recommended)

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  2. Place the wrap seam-side down and press slightly to seal.

  3. Toast for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

 Tips & Variations

Helpful Tips:

  • Extra saucy? Make a double batch of the Big Mac sauce — it’s also great as a dip for fries!

  • Meal prep friendly: Cook the beef and prep the sauce ahead of time for quick weekday meals.

  • Microwave option: To reheat your wrap quickly, pop it in the microwave for 45–60 seconds (but you’ll lose a bit of the crunch).

Variations:

  • Chicken Big Mac Wrap: Use grilled or shredded chicken instead of beef.

  • Veggie Wrap: Substitute with plant-based ground meat or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian version.

  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of sriracha or cayenne to the sauce or beef mixture.

  • Low-carb: Swap tortillas for large lettuce leaves for a keto-friendly version.
