Description

Learn how to make delicious Homemade Big Mac Wraps! This recipe recreates the iconic flavors of a McDonald’s Big Mac in an easy-to-make wrap format.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb of lean ground beef
  • Half cup of finely chopped onions
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Slices of pickle dill (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Special Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 TBSP finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ TSP onion powder
  • 2 tsp sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Special Sauce: A Tangy and Flavorful Condiment

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, sugar, and garlic powder.
  2. Mix Well: Stir the ingredients together thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the remaining components. This allows the flavors to meld.

2. Cook the Beef: Creating a Savory Filling

  1. Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add Onions: Add the finely chopped white onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Ground Beef: Add the lean ground beef to the skillet.
  4. Season and Cook: Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks, until it’s fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
  5. Drain Fat: Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  6. Remove from Heat: Remove the skillet from the heat.

3. Warm the Tortillas (Optional): Enhancing Pliability

  1. Warm Tortillas: If desired, warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable and easier to roll. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for about 20 seconds.

4. Assemble the Wraps: Building Layers of Flavor

  1. Lay Out Tortillas: Place the warmed tortillas on a clean, flat surface.
  2. Spread Sauce: Spread a generous amount of the special sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Add Beef: Top the sauce with the cooked ground beef mixture, dividing it evenly among the tortillas.
  4. Add Lettuce and Cheese: Sprinkle the chopped lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
  5. Add Pickles (Optional): If using, add a few dill pickle slices on top of the cheese.

5. Wrap and Serve: Creating the Perfect Package

  1. Fold and Roll: Fold in the opposite sides of each tortilla towards the center, over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the filling as you go, like you would a burrito.
  2. Cut in Half (Optional): You can cut the wraps in half for easier handling and a more appealing presentation.
  3. Serve Immediately: Serve the Homemade Big Mac Wraps immediately.
