Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet Essential for cooking the ground beef evenly.
- 1 Small mixing bowl Perfect for whisking the Special Sauce, it's Adam's favorite job!
- 1 Spatula For breaking up the ground beef as it cooks.
Ingredients
Big Mac Special Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise The creamy base for our secret sauce!
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish Gives it that iconic tang.
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Wraps
- 1 pound lean ground beef I use 90/10 for a less greasy wrap.
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch) or your favorite high-protein wraps.
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce Must be shredded for the best crunch!
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced onions
- ½ cup diced pickles
- 4 slices American cheese (optional) For that authentic Big Mac melt.
Instructions
- This is where the magic happens! In a small bowl, whisk together the [mayonnaise], [pickle relish], [yellow mustard], [white vinegar], [paprika], [onion powder], and [garlic powder]. Give your little helper a taste-test spoon, and then set the bowl aside while we cook the beef.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the [lean ground beef], [salt], and [black pepper]. Cook the beef for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it's browned and cooked through. Quick tip: Drain any excess fat to keep the wraps light and non-greasy!
- To make sure your wraps roll up neatly without tearing (a common kid frustration!), warm the [flour tortillas] in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a dry skillet for a quick minute per side.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Now, let’s build those perfect Big Mac layers! Spread about 2 tablespoons of the Big Mac Special Sauce in the center. Top it with about ¼ of the cooked [lean ground beef], followed by the [shredded iceberg lettuce], [shredded cheddar cheese], [diced onions], and Adam’s favorite, the [diced pickles]. If you're using it, add a slice of [American cheese] now.
- This is the tricky part! Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. For a crunchwrap finish (highly recommended!), place the seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheers!
Notes
Storage Tip for Busy Weeks: You can easily prep the cooked [lean ground beef] and the Big Mac Special Sauce up to 3 days ahead of time. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge. When it's dinner time, just warm the beef, gather your fresh veggies, and assemble the wraps fresh for the best texture!
Low-Carb Swap: If you want a keto or lighter version, skip the tortillas entirely and use large leaves of iceberg or romaine lettuce for a fantastic Big Mac lettuce wrap.
Adam's Extra Tip: Add a thin slice of a crunchy dill pickle right before rolling, it adds that extra layer of flavor you'd expect from a great Big Mac!
