Big Mac Wraps

Description

Big Mac Wraps are a fun, handheld twist on the classic fast-food favorite. Juicy seasoned ground beef, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, melty cheese, and creamy “special sauce” are wrapped in a warm tortilla instead of a bun. They deliver all the iconic Big Mac flavor with less mess—and they’re perfect for quick dinners, meal prep, or casual gatherings.

 Ingredients

Beef Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend works best)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Wrap Components

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Sauce

    • In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients.

    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes for best flavor.

  2. Cook the Beef

  3. Warm the Tortillas

    • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

    • Drizzle with extra sauce if desired.

  5. Wrap & Toast (Optional)

    • Fold sides inward and roll tightly.

    • For a crispy exterior, toast wraps seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.

⭐ Notes & Tips

 Q & A

Q: What’s the best tortilla to use?
A: Burrito-size flour tortillas work best for wrapping and toasting.

Q: How close is the sauce to real Big Mac sauce?
A: Very close—sweet, tangy, creamy, and iconic. Adjust relish or mustard to taste.
