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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
