Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Wrap and Toppings:
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced pickles
- ¼ cup diced onion
Sauce:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
Instructions
- Craft the signature zesty sauce by whisking mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a mixing bowl until completely smooth. Refrigerate the sauce to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and crumble ground beef into the pan. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper across the meat. Break down the beef with a spatula while cooking, ensuring even browning and complete elimination of pink areas. Drain any accumulated fat to prevent sogginess.
- Unfurl a soft tortilla and generously spread the chilled Big Mac sauce across the center, creating a flavor foundation. Layer seasoned beef evenly, followed by crisp shredded lettuce for texture, melty shredded cheese for richness, tangy diced pickles for zing, and sharp diced onions for bite.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, creating a compact envelope. Roll the wrap tightly, ensuring ingredients remain securely nestled inside. For added crispness, place the wrap seam-side down in a heated skillet, toasting each side until golden and slightly crunchy.
- Slice the wrap diagonally to reveal the layered interior. Plate immediately with a small ramekin of additional Big Mac sauce for optional dipping, serving while warmth and texture are at their peak.
Notes
- Customize the Big Mac sauce by adjusting spice levels, using low-fat mayo, or creating a vegan version with plant-based alternatives.
- Opt for lean ground beef or turkey to reduce fat content while maintaining the classic burger flavor profile.
- Toast wraps in a panini press for even crispiness and less oil compared to skillet cooking.
- Experiment with lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas for a lighter, keto-friendly adaptation of this classic fast-food inspired dish.
