How to Make the Recipe

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely diced onion, ketchup, mustard, chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir well and cook for another 1–2 minutes to ensure the beef is fully seasoned.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the Big Mac sauce in the center of the tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by some cooked beef, diced onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced pickles.

Step 4: Wrap It Up

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring everything stays inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5: Serve

Serve immediately as a handheld wrap or slice them in half for a fun, shareable appetizer. Optionally, you can toast the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side for a crispy exterior.

Tips for Making the Recipe

• Use Lean Beef: Choose lean ground beef (such as 85% lean) to reduce excess grease in the wraps.
• Make Extra Sauce: Prepare extra sauce for dipping or to drizzle over the wraps before serving.
• Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent them from cracking when rolling.
• Chill the Wraps: If you’re prepping these ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours.
• Even Distribution: Spread the sauce evenly for a balanced flavor in every bite.

How to Serve

Big Mac Wraps are perfect for serving as a lunch or dinner option. Pair them with crispy fries, baked potato wedges, or a side salad for a complete meal. They also make a fantastic party or game day snack—just cut them into halves or quarters and serve them with extra sauce for dipping.
