What You’ll Need

Gather these simple ingredients for your delightful Big Mac Wraps:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1/2 cup diced white onions
• 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Big Mac Wraps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and a pinch of garlic powder to create the signature special sauce. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on each tortilla, then layer on the seasoned beef, cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and dill pickle slices.
5. Tightly roll up each wrap and secure them with toothpicks if needed.
6. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the wraps seam-side down until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Remove the toothpicks, slice the wraps diagonally in half, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Looking to shake things up? Here are a few delicious variations to try with your Big Mac Wraps:

• Zesty Taco Twist: Add a sprinkle of taco seasoning to the beef and swap pickles for jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Veggie Delight: Enhance your wrap with fresh avocado slices and roasted red bell peppers for added creaminess and color.
• BBQ Bliss: Mix BBQ sauce into the beef for a smoky flavor, and substitute coleslaw for lettuce for a tangy crunch.
• Cheesy Goodness: Layer on two slices of cheese instead of one, or try a mix of cheddar and American cheese for richness.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make Ahead: You can prepare your special sauce and cook the ground beef in advance. Simply store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the wraps.
• Ingredient Swaps: Use turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option, and whole wheat tortillas for a healthier wrap.
• Slicing Tricks: Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps cleanly; this helps keep the ingredients from spilling out.
• Storage Suggestions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results!
