4.9 from 9 reviews

These Homemade Big Mac Wraps replicate the iconic flavors of the classic Big Mac burger in a convenient, handheld wrap form. Juicy seasoned ground beef, shredded cheddar, crisp lettuce, onions, and tangy pickles come together with a special tangy sauce modeled after the famous Big Mac sauce, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas and toasted to perfection for a melty, crispy finish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Wraps

  • 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)

For the Big Mac Sauce

  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator while preparing the other components to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until no pink remains, ensuring the beef is nicely browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Soften the flour tortillas to make them pliable by microwaving them between damp paper towels for about 30 seconds or toasting them briefly in a dry skillet until warm and flexible.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of Big Mac sauce evenly over the surface. Add a generous scoop of cooked ground beef, then layer on shredded lettuce, chopped onions, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
  5. Roll and Toast: Tightly roll each tortilla wrap to encase all the fillings. Place each wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2 to 3 minutes until the wrap is golden brown and crispy, which helps seal it closed and adds a delicious texture contrast.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice diagonally in half for easy eating. Serve with extra Big Mac sauce on the side for dipping if desired. Enjoy your homemade, flavorful Big Mac experience in wrap form!

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier, more flavorful meat.
  • Pat lettuce dry to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Warm tortillas just enough to make them pliable without drying out.
  • To make it lighter, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, but the authentic sauce flavor may vary.
  • Adding a slice of American cheese in place of cheddar is more traditional for Big Mac flavor.
  • Wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat in a skillet for best texture.
