Ingredients
For the Wraps
4 large soft tortillas
350 g ground beef
1 onion, finely sliced
100 g shredded cheddar cheese
4 iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded

How to Make Homemade Big Mac Wraps
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, onion powder, and chopped pickles. Refrigerate while preparing the rest of the recipe.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet with a small drizzle of oil. Sauté the sliced onion until soft and fragrant.
Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until nicely browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them more flexible and easier to roll.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Spread a spoonful of sauce over each tortilla.
Top with cooked beef, shredded cheddar, lettuce, and pickle slices.
Step 5: Roll & Serve
Roll the wraps tightly, slice them in half, and serve immediately with fries, potato wedges, or a fresh salad.
Tips for the Best Big Mac Wraps
Lightly grill the wraps after rolling for an extra crispy texture.
Avoid overfilling the tortillas to prevent tearing.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a lighter version.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy twist.
Swap beef for ground chicken or a plant-based alternative if desired.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping tortilla warming: Cold tortillas can crack while rolling.
Adding too much sauce: This can make the wraps soggy.
Not draining the beef: Excess grease affects texture and flavor.
Overstuffing: Keeps the wraps from sealing properly.
Storage Instructions
These wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
For best freshness, store the filling separately and assemble just before serving.
