• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)

Variations

• Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
• Use a low-carb tortilla to make it lighter.
• Add tomato slices or onions for extra crunch.
• Use pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
• Make it a “double” by adding an extra layer of beef and cheese.

Storage/Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store cooked beef separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat the beef in a skillet or microwave, then assemble the wraps just before serving. Avoid storing assembled wraps for long periods, as the lettuce and pickles can make the tortilla soggy.

FAQs

Can I make the beef ahead of time?

Yes, cook and season the beef in advance, then store it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble.

What’s the best cheese to use?

American cheese is closest to the Big Mac flavor, but cheddar also works well.

Can I make my own Big Mac sauce?

Yes, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, and onion powder for a homemade version.

Do I need to warm the tortillas?

Yes, warming makes them more pliable and prevents tearing.

Can I freeze the wraps?

It’s best to freeze only the cooked beef, not the assembled wraps, to preserve texture.

How do I keep the tortillas from getting soggy?

Assemble the wraps just before eating and avoid adding too much sauce.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, swap the beef for a plant-based ground meat substitute.

What type of pickles work best?

Dill pickles give the most authentic Big Mac taste, but bread-and-butter pickles add sweetness.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Definitely just adjust the sauce if your kids prefer less tangy flavor.

Can I serve these cold?

You can, but they taste best warm with melty cheese.
