Ever wondered what it would be like to enjoy the iconic flavors of a Big Mac in a more portable and convenient form? Well, look no further than the Big Mac Wrap! This innovative take on the classic burger combines the familiar ingredients of a Big Mac – juicy beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions – but wraps them all up in a warm, soft tortilla.
Whether you’re on the go, looking for a lighter option, or simply want to experience a new twist on an old favorite, the Big Mac Wrap is sure to satisfy your cravings.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
- Mayonnaise: I typically stick with Hellman’s or Duke’s, but I haven’t tried Miracle Whip.
- Pickles: Big Macs usually come with pickles, but feel free to skip them if you’re not a fan.
- Mustard and Ketchup: These are essential for that classic Big Mac sauce flavor.
- Onion: Onions add to the traditional flavor, but you can omit them if you prefer.
- Ground Beef: For a twist, you could use ground turkey or chicken, though it won’t taste quite like a Big Mac. Alternatively, plant-based options like Impossible meat work well.
- Tortillas: I chose soft taco-sized flour tortillas, but you can use larger burrito-sized ones for fewer wraps or opt for low-carb versions.
- Lettuce and Cheese: I prefer standard iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese, but feel free to use your favorites!
STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO MAKE BIG MAC WRAPS
Big Mac Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup finely diced dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Wraps
- 1 yellow onion, diced (divided)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 soft taco-sized tortillas
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup sliced dill pickles
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Make the Big Mac sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, dill pickles, mustard, ketchup, and paprika in a bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
- In a medium skillet, cook and crumble ground beef with half of the diced onion until fully cooked and onions are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drain any excess grease if necessary, then transfer the beef to a bowl.
- To assemble wraps, lay tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer lettuce, dill pickles, the beef mixture, remaining onions, cheddar cheese, and the Big Mac sauce.
- Fold each tortilla as a wrap and serve.
FAQ
1. What size tortillas are best?
I use taco-sized tortillas, but you could opt for street taco-sized ones for smaller wraps or go larger with burrito-sized tortillas for a heartier meal.
2. What is the best ground beef to use?
We prefer leaner ground beef, typically at least 85/15, to reduce grease in the dish.
3. How do I store leftovers?
If you have leftover wraps, I recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap and storing them in an airtight container. They should stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
