How to Make Big Mac Wraps
Make the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, mustard, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
In the center of the tortilla, add a layer of cooked ground beef.
Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced onions, and sliced pickles.
Drizzle a generous amount of special sauce over the ingredients.
Wrap and Serve:
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
Slice the wrap in half, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Helpful Tips for Recipe Success
Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer a spicier version, add a bit of hot sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper to the special sauce.
Extra Flavor: Sauté the diced onions in the same pan you cooked the beef for extra caramelization and depth of flavor.
Make it Veggie-Friendly: Use plant-based ground beef or another vegetarian protein as a substitute.
Toast the Wraps: For an extra crispy texture, lightly toast the wraps in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Serving Suggestions
On the Side: Pair with crispy fries or sweet potato fries for a fun, fast-food-inspired meal.
Dip it: Serve with extra special sauce for dipping or your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or ketchup.
Make it a Meal: Add a side salad or vegetable chips to complete the meal.
FAQs
