Step-by-Step Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics and Prepare the Sauce:

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely diced onion, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, finely chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth so the flavors meld beautifully while you cook the beef.

Cook the Hamburger Meat:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Add the ground beef and cook while breaking it apart with a spatula. When browned and cooked through, drain excess grease. Stir in kosher salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to season the meat deeply.

Brown the Tortillas:

Lightly spray the skillet again and warm each tortilla just enough to make it pliable and give a bit of a toasted texture on one side. This step helps your tortillas hold together nicely when wrapped.

Assemble the Wraps:

Distribute the shredded lettuce, diced onions, shredded cheddar, sliced pickles, seasoned beef, and prepared sauce evenly among the six warmed tortillas. Roll each one tightly so nothing falls out and the flavors stay locked inside.

Storage Tips

Wrap leftover Big Mac Wraps tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to two days. The sauce and meat keep well, but the lettuce may lose its crunch, so it’s best eaten fresh. If you want to save just the protein and sauce components, store them separately from the veggies and tortillas.

Ingredient Substitutions

Ground turkey or chicken can replace the beef for a leaner option, though you may want to add a bit more seasoning for richness. If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, a splash of soy sauce or a bit of balsamic vinegar adds a tasty umami note. For a dairy-free version, omit the cheddar or use a plant-based alternative.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of oven-baked fries or a crisp green salad to complement the flavors. If you like a bit of heat, a few dashes of hot sauce inside the wrap add a spicy twist that pairs well with the creamy sauce.
