Ingredients
You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier texture)
- 8 large flour tortillas (Sturdy enough to hold everything)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce (Pat dry to avoid sogginess)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Adds melty, savory goodness)
- 0.5 cup chopped onions (White or yellow work best)
- 0.5 cup dill pickles (Chopped into small chunks)
- Salt and pepper (To season the beef)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (Full-fat for best flavor)
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish (Adds classic Big Mac sweetness)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (For that signature tang)
- 1 tsp white vinegar (Balances out the sauce)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (Adds depth)
- 1 tsp onion powder (Essential for that familiar flavor)
- 1 tsp paprika (For color and warmth)
Directions
- Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Chill while preparing the rest.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no pink remains, then drain excess fat.
- Warm the Tortillas: Microwave tortillas between damp paper towels for 30 seconds or toast briefly in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread 2 tablespoons of Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Add a scoop of ground beef, lettuce, onions, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll and Toast: Roll each wrap tightly. Place seam-side down in a dry skillet and toast for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice diagonally and serve with extra Big Mac sauce on the side.
