Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 yellow onion, diced (divided)
1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 for flavor)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
4 soft taco size tortillas
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup dill pickle slices
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

Step 1: Make the Signature Big Mac Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, combine:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. This tangy, sweet, and savory sauce mimics the original Big Mac sauce to perfection. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef and Onions

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add:

1 pound ground beef
Half of the diced yellow onion

Cook, breaking up the beef into small crumbles. Stir frequently until the meat is browned and fully cooked, and the onions are soft and slightly translucent. Season with:

Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder (optional, but adds great depth)

Drain any excess grease and transfer the beef mixture to a bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the soft taco tortillas flat on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer the following:

A handful (about 1/8 cup) of shredded lettuce
A few sliced dill pickles
A generous spoonful of the seasoned beef and onion mixture
A sprinkle of the remaining raw diced onions for crunch
A handful (about 1/8 cup) of shredded cheddar cheese
1–2 tablespoons of the Big Mac sauce

Step 4: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them tightly like a burrito. You can secure each wrap with a toothpick if needed, or toast them seam-side down in a pan for extra crispiness.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Big Mac wraps warm with extra sauce on the side for dipping. They’re best fresh, but can also be wrapped in foil and packed for later.

Variation

This recipe is extremely versatile. Try these variations to switch things up:

Low-Carb/Keto: Use low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves instead of flour tortillas.
Spicy Big Mac Wraps: Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the Big Mac sauce for heat.
Double Big Mac Wraps: Double the beef and cheese for an extra-indulgent version.
Chicken Big Mac Wraps: Substitute ground beef with ground chicken or chopped grilled chicken breast.
Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based ground beef alternatives and vegan mayo for a meat-free version.

COOKING Note:

Be sure not to overfill the tortillas, or they may tear when wrapping. Also, lightly warming the tortillas before assembling makes them more pliable and easier to fold without cracking.

Serving Suggestions:

Fries or Potato Wedges: Classic pairing—serve with seasoned fries or baked potato wedges.
Pickle Spears: Add extra crunch and tang.
Coleslaw or Side Salad: A light, fresh side balances the richness of the wrap.
Fruit Cups or Applesauce: Especially great if you’re packing for kids’ lunches.
Dipping Sauces: Keep extra Big Mac sauce, ranch, or spicy mayo on the side.

Tips:

Prep Ahead: Make the beef and sauce up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate.
Make it Crispy: Toast the wraps in a hot skillet with a little butter or oil for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Cheese Variations: Swap cheddar for American, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a different flavor.
Customize Fillings: Add tomatoes, avocado, or sautéed mushrooms for an upgraded wrap.
Wrap It Right: Tuck the ends in and roll tightly to avoid spills.

FAQs

Q1: Can I make Big Mac Wraps ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep all the components in advance. Assemble the wraps right before serving to prevent sogginess.

Q2: Are Big Mac Wraps freezer-friendly?
It’s best to freeze only the cooked beef. Assembled wraps with lettuce and sauce don’t freeze well.

Q3: Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Absolutely. Ground turkey or chicken are great lean substitutes with similar flavor profiles when seasoned well.

Q4: How do I store leftovers?
Store each component separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat beef before assembling fresh wraps.

Q5: Is there a gluten-free version?
Yes, just use certified gluten-free tortillas and check your condiments to ensure they’re gluten-free.
