How to Make Big Mac Wraps
1. Brown the Beef
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add your ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, then season it with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
2. Prep the Sauce
While the beef is cooking, whip up that iconic Big Mac sauce. Just mix mayo, ketchup, mustard, diced pickles, a splash of vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika. Taste and tweak until it’s just right.
3. Warm the Tortillas
Pop the tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or warm them in a dry skillet—this makes them pliable and easy to roll.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay out each tortilla and spread a spoonful of sauce across the center. Add a layer of cooked beef, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, and sliced pickles.
5. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides, then roll it up burrito-style. Slice in half if you’d like, and serve immediately—or sear them in a skillet for a toasted crunch!
Pro Tips
- Use shredded lettuce for easier rolling.
- Want that fast food texture? Sear the wrap with a little butter for a golden, crispy finish.
- Pre-shred your cheese and lettuce to save even more time on busy nights.
Flavor Variation
- Spicy Big Mac Wraps – Add jalapeños or a squirt of sriracha to the sauce.
- Low-Carb Version – Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps.
- Vegan Twist – Use plant-based ground beef, vegan cheese, and egg-free mayo for the sauce.
- Cheeseburger Style – Add sautéed onions, tomatoes, or even bacon.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps pair perfectly with:
- Sweet potato fries or waffle fries
- Pickle chips or coleslaw
- A fizzy soda or creamy milkshake (go all-in on the fast food nostalgia!)
Make-Ahead & Storage
Big Mac Wraps are great for meal prep. Just store the components separately in the fridge:
- Beef mixture: up to 4 days
- Big Mac sauce: up to 1 week
- Assembled wraps: best eaten fresh, but okay for next-day lunch if wrapped tightly
Leftovers
Leftover beef? Toss it over a salad, stuff it into sliders, or stir it into mac and cheese for a fun twist.
Freezing
Not ideal for freezing once assembled (lettuce + mayo = soggy city), but you can freeze the cooked beef. Just cool it fully and store it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Reheating
Reheat beef in a skillet or microwave. If you’ve made and chilled the wraps, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a crispy finish. Avoid the microwave—it’ll make the wrap soggy.
FAQs
Can I make these Big Mac Wraps gluten-free?
Absolutely! Use gluten-free tortillas and double-check your condiments for hidden gluten.
What’s the best beef to use?
Go with lean ground beef (85% or higher) to keep things juicy but not greasy.
Can I meal prep Big Mac Wraps?
Yes! Just keep the wet ingredients (sauce, pickles, lettuce) separate until serving.
Is the Big Mac sauce homemade or store-bought?
Totally up to you! Homemade is easy and super flavorful, but store-bought works in a pinch.
