Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Beef: Lean ground beef gives the best flavor and texture. If you’re looking for a healthier option, ground turkey or chicken works well too!
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping. If you want a low-carb version, try using lettuce wraps or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier choice.
Cheese: Cheddar cheese adds a nice flavor. You can substitute it with American cheese or mozzarella if you prefer a milder taste.
Big Mac Sauce: This sauce is iconic! You can mix it up by adding hot sauce for some heat or use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through, which takes about 7-10 minutes. Use a spatula to break the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Once cooked, drain the excess fat and set the beef aside.
2. Make the Big Mac Sauce:
In a small bowl, measure out the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of paprika. Mix everything together until it’s smooth. This sauce is what gives your wraps that classic taste!
3. Prepare the Tortillas:
To make the tortillas easier to handle, warm them up for a few seconds in a dry pan or microwave. This will help them become more pliable and prevent tearing.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
Take one tortilla and spread a generous spoonful of the Big Mac sauce over the surface. Then, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Next, distribute the cooked ground beef evenly over the cheese. If you’re using pickles, sprinkle them on now, followed by a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce.
5. Roll It Up:
Now it’s time to wrap it all up! Carefully roll the tortilla from one side to the other, tucking in the ends as you go to keep everything inside. Make sure to roll it tightly for the best results.
6. Slice and Serve:
Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Big Mac Wraps!
These wraps are a delicious way to enjoy a classic flavor in a fun, portable format. Perfect for dinner or even as a quick lunch!
FAQ for Easy Big Mac Wraps
Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Beef?

How Do I Store Leftover Wraps?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or a skillet, but be careful not to overdo it to keep the tortilla from becoming tough.
