Big Mac Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Big Mac Wraps bring the classic flavors of the iconic burger into a convenient handheld meal. Packed with seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar, and tangy pickles, these wraps are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Two halves of a grilled wrap are stacked on a white marbled surface, each showing three clear layers inside: a bottom layer of cooked ground beef with a brown texture, a middle layer of melted yellow cheese sauce dripping slightly, and a top layer of fresh, bright green shredded lettuce. The wrap's outer shell is lightly toasted with golden-brown grill marks, adding a warm contrast to the fresh and rich fillings. In the blurred background, there are golden French fries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island or burger sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully browned. Drain any excess grease to avoid soggy wraps.
  2. Step 2: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon the cooked beef onto the center.
  3. Step 3: Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, shredded lettuce, diced onion, and a drizzle of Thousand Island or burger sauce.
  4. Step 4: Fold the sides in and roll up the tortilla tightly into a wrap. For extra crispness, sear the wrap in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
  5. Step 5: Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Tips & Variations

  • For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
  • Try adding a few slices of tomato or a pinch of shredded mozzarella for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a dash of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños.
  • To prevent sogginess, serve the sauce on the side for dipping or spread it lightly.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispness or microwave briefly until warmed through.

FAQs

Can I make these Big Mac wraps ahead of time?

You can prepare the beef and chop the toppings in advance, but it’s best to assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.

What can I use instead of Thousand Island sauce?

If you don’t have Thousand Island dressing, a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup with a splash of pickle juice works well as a substitute.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Wrap Fillings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island or burger sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef along with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the meat thoroughly until it is fully browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break it apart evenly. Once cooked, drain any excess grease carefully to prevent a greasy wrap.
  2. Prepare Wraps: Warm the large flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable and easier to roll. Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal portion of cooked ground beef onto the center of each tortilla.
  3. Add Toppings: Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced onion. Drizzle each with a generous amount of Thousand Island or your preferred burger sauce to add that signature tangy flavor.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose all the fillings securely. For an optional extra touch, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and sear each wrap for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the outside is slightly crisp and golden.
  5. Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally to make them easier to eat. Serve immediately while warm, enjoying all the delicious flavors packed inside.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and improve texture.
  • Warming tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents tearing during rolling.
  • Optional searing adds crispness and helps the wrap hold together better.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with American cheese for a more authentic Big Mac taste.
  • For added crunch, add thinly sliced fresh onions or extra pickles.
  • Store leftover wraps wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
