Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup pickles, sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Preparing the Beef
First things first, let’s get that beef ready. I love the smell of seasoned ground beef cooking on the stove. It’s the foundation of our Big Mac Wraps!
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Once the beef is browned (about 5-7 minutes), drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Now, sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the beef.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
Making the Special Sauce
What’s a Big Mac without that iconic sauce? This is where the magic happens, and it’s super easy to whip up!
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, ketchup, white vinegar, sugar, and finely chopped onion.
- Mix everything together until it’s smooth and well combined. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like it a bit tangier, add a little more vinegar!
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and intensify.
Preparing the Wraps
Now that we have our beef and sauce ready, it’s time to assemble our wraps. This is the fun part!
- Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Make sure it’s nice and warm; you can microwave it for about 10 seconds if it’s cold.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of the special sauce in the center of the tortilla.
- Next, add a portion of the seasoned ground beef on top of the sauce. I usually go for about 1/4 of the beef mixture per wrap.
- Now, sprinkle a handful of shredded lettuce over the beef. I love the crunch it adds!
- Follow that with a handful of diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Finally, add a few pickle slices on top for that classic Big Mac flavor.
Wrapping It Up
We’re almost there! Now, let’s wrap everything up so we can enjoy these delicious Big Mac Wraps.
- To wrap the tortilla, start by folding the sides in towards the center, covering the filling.
- Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upwards until you have a complete wrap.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling. You should have four delicious wraps ready to go!
Cooking the Wraps (Optional)
If you like your wraps a little crispy, you can give them a quick cook on the skillet. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it for that extra texture!
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can add a little butter or oil if you like, but it’s not necessary.
- Place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until it’s golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the wrap over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side
Conclusion:
In summary, these Big Mac Wraps with Sauce are an absolute must-try for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious twist on a classic favorite. The combination of savory beef, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and that iconic Big Mac sauce all wrapped up in a soft tortilla makes for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a fun snack. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make, allowing you to whip them up in no time at all! For serving suggestions, consider pairing these wraps with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad to balance out the flavors. You can also experiment with variations by adding your favorite toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, cheese, or even avocado for an extra creamy texture. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out the beef for grilled chicken or a plant-based protein to cater to different dietary preferences.
