Turning the iconic Big Mac burger into a wrap gives you all those yummy flavors in an easy-to-hold package. This DIY version nails the signature taste of the popular burger but with a fun twist that makes dinner much quicker and more fun. When you mix seasoned beef, fresh veggies, and that famous special sauce, you get an amazing meal that fixes those fast-food urges without leaving home. I've whipped these wraps up so many times when my family gets together, and they've turned into our favorite pick for laid-back get-togethers. There's something about how the special sauce mixes with the hot beef and gooey cheese that brings back that fast-food feeling we all want.

Must-Have Ingredients Breakdown

Ground beef with fat: Go for 80/20 meat-to-fat mix for the juiciest, tastiest resultsBig flour tortillas: Grab the softest ones you can find since they'll fold better without breakingMayo: Stick with the full-fat stuff to make the creamiest base for our special sauceDill pickles: You'll need some chopped up for the sauce plus slices for extra zip in every biteYellow mustard: This gives you that real Big Mac taste in the special sauceCrisp lettuce: Nothing beats iceberg for that awesome crunch and traditional flavor

The special sauce in this wrap is what my family goes crazy for. We usually make a double batch to use for dipping veggies or spreading on other sandwiches during the week.

Tasty Side Suggestions

Make your Big Mac wrap meal even better with some crunchy sweet potato fries or a simple garden salad on the side. If you want that true fast-food feeling, drink a thick chocolate shake or your favorite fizzy soda with it.

Make It Your Own

Try a healthier version by swapping in ground turkey or chicken for the beef. If you're watching carbs, use big lettuce leaves instead of tortillas to wrap everything up. Throw in more cheese or extra pickles to create your own special version.

Storage Solutions

Keep your wrapped creations in sealed containers for up to two days, but pack the lettuce separately so it stays crunchy. Heat them in a dry pan over medium heat to get that just-made texture back and melt the cheese just right.
I've tried tons of burger-inspired dishes over the years, but these Big Mac wraps really stand out as our family's top pick. They capture what makes the original sandwich so good while offering a practical, new take on casual eating.

Ingredients

→ Tangy Sauce

01 1 teaspoon paprika
02 1 teaspoon white vinegar
03 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
04 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
05 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
06 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
07 1/2 cup mayo

→ Filling & Wraps

08 4 large tortillas made from flour
09 1/2 cup chopped onions
10 1 pound ground beef, lean
11 Pinch of salt and pepper
12 Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
13 Shredded lettuce (1 cup)
14 Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
15 Slices of dill pickles

Steps

Step 01

Stir together mayo, pickles, mustard, paprika, vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl till it's blended smoothly. Keep it in the fridge while you get the rest ready.

Step 02

Toss some olive oil into a frying pan over medium heat. Soften the onions first, then stir in the beef. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper, cook till browned, and drain the extra grease.

Step 03

Warm up the tortillas slightly. Slather on the sauce, then pop in the beef mix. Pile on lettuce, cheese, and pickles before rolling it up.

Step 04

Tuck the sides of your tortilla in tight, then roll it closed. You can cut it in half if you'd like, and serve right away.

Notes

  1. For the freshest results, stick to crisp lettuce and freshly grated cheese.
  2. Feel free to tweak the sauce—extra mustard makes it bolder, and more pickles give it crunch.
  3. Turn up the heat by tossing in spicy stuff like jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce.
  4. Going for lean beef keeps the wraps from being too oily.
