Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
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 Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced pickles
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Craft the signature Big Mac sauce by whisking mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small mixing bowl until thoroughly blended and silky smooth. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator to meld the flavors.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and crumble ground beef into the pan. Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continuously break apart the beef while cooking until it transforms into a rich, caramel-brown color and loses all pink hues, approximately 6-8 minutes. Carefully drain any accumulated grease.
- Position a soft tortilla on a clean surface and generously spread the chilled Big Mac sauce across the center. Distribute the seasoned ground beef evenly over the sauce.
- Layer the beef with crisp shredded lettuce, melted shredded cheese, tangy diced pickles, and finely chopped onions for maximum flavor complexity.
- Expertly fold the tortilla’s sides inward, creating a tight envelope around the fillings. Roll the wrap carefully to ensure all ingredients are securely enclosed.
- For an optional crispy exterior, place the wrap seam-side down in a heated skillet. Toast each side for 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden, slightly crunchy finish.
- Slice the wrap diagonally and serve immediately, accompanied by additional Big Mac sauce for enthusiastic dipping.
Notes
- Customize the Big Mac sauce by adjusting spice levels to suit personal taste preferences.
- Swap ground beef with plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains the classic flavor profile.
- Toast the wraps carefully to achieve a crispy exterior without burning the tortilla.
- Use low-fat cheese and lean ground beef to create a lighter, healthier alternative to the traditional recipe.
