What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

You don’t need anything fancy to whip up these wraps. Here’s what makes them taste just like the real deal:

• Ground beef: A well-seasoned, browned beef base is key to capturing that burger flavor.
• American cheese: Melts into that gooey, creamy texture you expect from a Big Mac.
• Shredded lettuce: Adds crunch and freshness to balance the richness.
• Pickles: Brings the tangy zing that defines the Big Mac experience.
• Onions: Diced onions offer bite and flavor depth.
• Special sauce: A creamy, tangy sauce made with mayo, mustard, ketchup, relish, and vinegar – it’s the heart of the wrap.
• Flour tortillas: Large, soft, and grillable.
• Salt and pepper: Simple seasoning for the beef.

How To Make the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Special Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet pickle relish, and a splash of vinegar. Taste and adjust to your liking.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat and add a layer of shredded lettuce, then the ground beef, diced onions, pickles, a generous drizzle of special sauce, and finally, top with slices of American cheese.

Step 4: Fold and Toast

Fold the sides of the tortilla over, then roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Place seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This step seals the wrap and melts the cheese inside.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately while warm and melty.

How to Serve and Store Homemade Big Mac Wraps

These wraps are best served fresh off the skillet when the cheese is melty and the tortilla is crispy. However, they can be made ahead and reheated, making them great for meal prep too.

This recipe feeds about 4 people (or more if you’re cutting them in halves for snacks). To store leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture.

What to Serve With Homemade Big Mac Wraps?

Classic French Fries

You can’t go wrong with crispy, golden fries on the side. Oven-baked or air-fried both work well.

Sweet Potato Wedges

A slightly healthier option that adds sweetness to balance the savory wraps.

Coleslaw

Creamy coleslaw brings a crunchy, tangy contrast that pairs perfectly.

Pickle Spears

A simple nod to the pickles inside the wrap that also doubles as a crunchy side.

Macaroni Salad

Great for picnics or gatherings, this cold pasta dish offers a creamy, comforting complement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely! Ground turkey is a leaner alternative and still works great with the seasonings and sauce. Just be sure to cook it thoroughly and adjust seasoning as needed.

How can I make it spicier?

Add a dash of hot sauce to the special sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the beef while cooking. You could also toss in some jalapeño slices.

Can these be made ahead of time?

Yes, you can fully assemble and cook the wraps, then store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to bring back the crispiness.

What if I don’t have pickles?

While pickles are essential to the Big Mac flavor, you can substitute with pickled jalapeños or even finely diced cucumbers mixed with vinegar in a pinch.
