Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pickles, sliced
1/4 cup Big Mac sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
I begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, I add the chopped onion and sauté it for about 2 minutes, or until softened.
Next, I add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. I cook it until it’s browned, about 7-8 minutes.
After the beef is browned, I stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. I let it cook for another 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
While the beef mixture cools slightly, I warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable.
For assembly, I spread a small amount of Big Mac sauce in the center of each tortilla.
I layer the wraps with shredded lettuce, the cooked beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced pickles, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
After that, I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a wrap.
To finish, I heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Finally, I slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Variations
Meat Alternatives: You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Cheese Swap: If you don’t have cheddar or mozzarella, any meltable cheese like American, Swiss, or pepper jack works great.
Spicy: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to give your wraps some heat.
Vegetarian Version: Skip the meat and add some black beans or grilled vegetables as a filling alternative.
Homemade Sauce: For an extra homemade touch, try making your own Big Mac sauce using mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickle relish, and a dash of vinegar.
Storage/Reheating
Storage: I store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: To reheat, I recommend toasting the wraps again in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy, or you can microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, though they may lose some of their crispiness.

FAQs
Can I make Big Mac wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling (beef mixture, shredded lettuce, cheese, etc.) ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just warm the tortillas, assemble the wraps, and toast them.
Can I use a different sauce for the wraps?
Absolutely! While Big Mac sauce is a classic choice, you can easily swap it out for your favorite creamy dressing, ranch, or even BBQ sauce depending on your taste preferences.
Can I freeze these wraps?
While the wraps are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the assembled but un-toasted wraps. Wrap each one in foil or plastic wrap, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To reheat, toast them from frozen in a skillet.
What type of tortillas are best for Big Mac wraps?
I like to use large flour tortillas for this recipe because they’re soft and pliable, which makes them easier to roll. However, you can also use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas if you prefer.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
To kick up the heat, you can add sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or even a spicy cheese like pepper jack. If you’re looking for more spice in the beef, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or chili powder.
Conclusion
Big Mac Wraps are a fun and flavorful take on a classic favorite, offering all the great tastes of a Big Mac in a quick and easy wrap. They’re perfect for busy nights when I need something delicious but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
