- 1 cup shredded lettuce: Brings a fresh, crisp contrast to the rich meat and sauce.

How to Make Big Mac Wraps Recipe
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
Start by heating a skillet over medium and cooking your ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper until fully browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. This simple step is crucial because it locks in all that juicy, savory flavor that forms the heart of your wrap.
Step 2: Prepare the Big Mac Sauce
While the beef cooks, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and white vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. This sauce is everything — creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet — the exact flavor you expect from the Big Mac experience.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
Softening the tortillas by warming them in the microwave or a dry skillet makes them easier to fold and roll without tearing, ensuring your wrap holds together perfectly when stuffed and ready to eat.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Spread a generous spoonful of that luscious Big Mac sauce in the center of each tortilla. Add a layer of cooked beef, followed by shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced onions, and dill pickle slices. These layers combine textures and flavors that perfectly mimic a classic Big Mac, all wrapped up!
Step 5: Wrap It Up
Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito. For an extra touch of crunch and warmth, toast the wrap seam-side down in a skillet for a minute or two on each side. This little step adds a satisfying crisp exterior that contrasts wonderfully with the tender inside.
How to Serve Big Mac Wraps Recipe
Garnishes
A sprinkle of extra shredded cheddar on top or a few pickle slices make great garnishes that emphasize the wrap’s classic flavors and add a lovely pop of color when serving.
Side Dishes
Pair your wraps with crispy oven-baked fries, a fresh side salad, or even some crunchy coleslaw. These sides complement the rich flavors and keep the meal balanced and satisfying.
Creative Ways to Present
For a party or casual get-together, cut the wraps into bite-sized pinwheels for easy sharing. You might also serve them with toothpicks alongside dipping bowls of extra Big Mac sauce for a fun, interactive meal.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Wrap any leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. The wraps should stay fresh for up to 2 days, making lunch the next day just as enjoyable.
Freezing
While the Big Mac Wraps Recipe is best fresh, you can freeze the cooked ground beef separately for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before assembling your wraps to maintain the freshest texture.
Reheating
Reheat your wraps in a skillet over medium-low heat for a few minutes on each side to revive the crispy exterior and warm filling without drying them out. Microwave reheating is faster but may make the tortilla a bit soggy.
FAQs
Can I use beef substitutes in this Big Mac Wraps Recipe?
Absolutely! Ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat alternatives work beautifully and can cater to different dietary preferences while still delivering great flavor.
Is there a way to make this recipe low-carb?
Yes, swapping the flour tortillas for low-carb tortillas or using large lettuce leaves as wraps can lower the carbs without sacrificing that wrap convenience.
How spicy is the Big Mac sauce in this recipe?
The Big Mac sauce is mild and tangy with no heat, making it approachable for all palates, but you can add a dash of hot sauce if you like a little kick.
Can these wraps be made in advance for a party?
You can prepare all components beforehand and assemble just before serving to keep the tortillas fresh and the ingredients crisp.
What if I don’t have cheddar cheese?
Feel free to use any mild melting cheese like American, mozzarella, or even a slice of Swiss for a slight twist on the traditional flavor.
