Big Mac Wraps Recipe
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 4 wraps
Equipment Needed:
- Skillet
- Mixing bowls
- Spoon or spatula
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 yellow onion, diced (divided)
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste, optional)
- 4 soft taco-size tortillas
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Special Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, finely diced pickles, mustard, ketchup, and paprika. Give it a taste and adjust as needed. Pop it in the fridge while you prep everything else—this lets the flavors meld.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with half of the diced onion. Break up the beef as it cooks, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you like. Once fully cooked and the onions are soft, drain any excess grease. Transfer the meat to a bowl.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas. Start with a layer of shredded lettuce, then a handful of sliced pickles, a scoop of the beef mixture, a sprinkle of the remaining raw diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and a generous drizzle of that special sauce.
Step 4: Fold and Serve
Fold the tortillas like a burrito or wrap, tucking in the sides as you go. Serve as-is or give them a quick toast in a pan for extra crispiness.
Variations to Try
- Vegetarian: Use plant-based ground meat or crumbled tofu.
- Low-carb: Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps.
- Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or jalapeños to the beef or sauce.
- Cheeseburger-style: Add a tomato slice or two for that classic burger feel.
Pro Tips
- Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side before assembling—they’ll be more pliable and flavorful.
- Want melty cheese? Add the beef and cheese to the tortilla first, microwave for 15 seconds, then add the rest.
- Dice your pickles and onions finely so every bite gets that balanced flavor.
- Make extra sauce—it’s great for dipping fries or using on burgers later in the week.
Enjoy your homemade Big Mac Wraps—fresh, fast, and full of flavor!
