🌯 Big Mac Wraps Recipe

⭐ Introduction

The Big Mac Wrap is a modern twist on McDonald’s iconic Big Mac burger. Instead of the traditional sesame seed bun, we use a soft tortilla wrap, making it lighter, portable, and perfect for quick meals. This recipe captures all the classic flavors—juicy beef, special sauce, lettuce, pickles, cheese, and onions—wrapped up neatly for an easy-to-hold delight. Whether for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep, this wrap is both satisfying and fun.

📝 Ingredients

For the Special “Big Mac” Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For the Wraps:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for flavor)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced dill pickles

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, ketchup, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Cook the Beef:
    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
    • Break it up into crumbles and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
    • Spread a generous spoonful of Big Mac sauce in the center.
    • Add shredded lettuce, cheese, onions, pickles, and a scoop of cooked beef.
  4. Fold the Wrap:
    • Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom upwards to form a secure wrap.
  5. Optional Toasting:
    • For extra flavor, place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes to crisp it up.
  6. Serve:
    • Cut in half and serve warm with extra sauce for dipping.

🥘 Methods

  • Grill Method: Grill the ground beef patties instead of crumbling them, then slice and add into wraps.
  • Meal Prep Method: Cook beef ahead of time and store sauce separately. Assemble wraps when ready to eat.
  • Low-Carb Method: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a Big Mac Lettuce Wrap.

📜 History

The Big Mac was first introduced by McDonald’s in 1967 by franchise owner Jim Delligatti. It quickly became the chain’s signature burger, known for its “special sauce” and double-decker design. Over the years, food enthusiasts have created countless variations. The Big Mac Wrap is a newer, homemade evolution—turning the burger into a lighter, more portable option while keeping the same beloved flavors.

💪 Benefits

  • Portable: Easier to carry and eat compared to a burger.
  • Customizable: Add veggies, swap cheese, or make it spicy.
  • Balanced Meal: Contains protein, carbs, dairy, and veggies in one wrap.
  • Kid-Friendly: Fun to make and eat, great for picky eaters.

🏗 Formation

The wrap is formed by layering sauce → lettuce → cheese → beef → toppings, then tightly rolling to ensure every bite contains all flavors. This structured layering ensures the sauce doesn’t leak and the wrap stays firm.

  • Fast-Food Lovers who want a homemade alternative.
  • Fitness Enthusiasts who want portion control compared to a full burger.
  • Families looking for quick weeknight meals.
  • Meal Preppers who like easy-to-store and reheat foods.
