Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like how these wraps capture the nostalgia of a Big Mac but with a fresh, homemade feel. They come together fast, use simple ingredients, and are easy to customize depending on what I’m in the mood for. They also make a great family-friendly meal or quick weeknight dinner that feels a bit indulgent without being over the top.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Beef:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Big Mac Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons grated onion

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish

  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

For the Wraps:

  • 4 6-inch flour tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup sliced onions

  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles

  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional)

Directions

  1. Make the Sauce: I combine mayonnaise, grated onion, ketchup, relish, mustard, vinegar, and paprika in a small bowl. Then I chill it while I prep everything else.

  2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, I cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once done, I drain any grease.

  3. Season the Beef: I stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce until the meat is well seasoned.

  4. Assemble the Wraps: I lay out the tortillas and add a layer of lettuce, followed by the seasoned beef, cheddar cheese, onions, pickles, and tomatoes if I’m using them. I finish with a generous drizzle of the special sauce.

  5. Wrap and Serve: I fold the tortillas like a burrito and either serve them as is or give them a quick toast in a dry pan for a warm, slightly crispy wrap.

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 4 wraps

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • Cook Time: 15 minutes

  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Variations

  • Different Protein: I switch things up by using ground turkey, chicken, or even a meatless crumble.

  • Lettuce Wraps: For a low-carb version, I use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.

  • Cheese Options: I swap in pepper jack or Swiss depending on what I have in the fridge.

  • Spicy Twist: A few jalapeño slices or hot sauce gives these wraps a nice kick.

  • More Veggies: I like adding sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, or avocado for extra texture and flavor.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: I keep leftover meat and sauce in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: I reheat the meat in a skillet or microwave before assembling fresh wraps.

  • Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing the fully assembled wraps, but the cooked beef can be frozen on its own.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I prepare the beef and sauce in advance, then assemble the wraps when I’m ready to eat.

What’s the best tortilla size to use?

I go for 6-inch tortillas—they’re just the right size to hold everything without falling apart.

Can I use a different sauce?

Sure, but the homemade Big Mac-style sauce is what really makes it feel authentic. I’d at least give it a try once.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

I make sure to drain the beef well and only add sauce right before serving to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.

Can I pack these for lunch?

Definitely. I wrap them in foil or parchment and keep the sauce separate to add just before eating.

Conclusion

Big Mac Wraps are a fun and flavorful way to enjoy a fast-food favorite at home. I love how easy they are to put together, and they always hit the spot when I’m craving something hearty and familiar. Whether I’m serving them for a casual dinner or packing them up for lunch, they always deliver.
