Big Mac Wraps: A Tasty Twist on a Classic  Burger with Tips and FAQs

If you love the iconic Big Mac but want something a little lighter and easier to eat on the go, then Big Mac Wraps are the perfect solution. These wraps capture all the flavors of the classic  burger—juicy  beef, tangy sauce, crisp lettuce, pickles, and  cheese—all wrapped up in a convenient  tortilla. Below, you’ll find the recipe, some handy tips, and answers to common questions that might arise as you make this fun and delicious meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 large flour  tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Big Mac sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

For the Big Mac Sauce (optional):

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow  mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Big Mac Sauce: If making the sauce from scratch, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Adjust  seasoning to taste, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Cook the  Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the  ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the  beef is fully browned, then drain any excess fat. Set aside.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the  tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable. This makes them easier to wrap without tearing.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of Big Mac sauce in the center of the  tortilla. Layer with a quarter of the cooked  beef, shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickles, and a slice of American  cheese.
  5. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the ingredients as you go. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on the wrap to mimic the classic Big Mac bun.
  6. Serve: Slice each wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately with extra Big Mac sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Perfect Big Mac Wraps

  • Choose the Right  Beef: Using 80/20  ground beef gives the best balance of flavor and juiciness. If you prefer a leaner option, go for 90/10, but be aware that the wraps might be slightly less juicy.
  • Homemade Big Mac Sauce: Making your own sauce allows you to customize the flavors. If you like it tangier, add more vinegar or  mustard. For a sweeter touch, increase the amount of relish.
  • Keep the Wraps from Getting Soggy: If you’re not eating the wraps immediately, keep the lettuce, onions, and pickles separate and add them just before serving. This prevents the wrap from getting soggy.
  • Double Up the  Cheese: If you love extra  cheesy flavor, consider adding two slices of American  cheese to each wrap or swapping in cheddar or pepper jack for a twist.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve these wraps with a side of French fries or a simple green  salad for a complete meal that hits all the right notes.
