Ingredients (Makes 4 wraps)
For the Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
For the Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp finely minced onion (optional)
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas (or lettuce wraps for a low-carb option)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced white onion
- 8-12 dill pickle slices
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spatula.
- Season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Special Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced onion (if using).
- Mix well until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. This sauce is the star of the show, so don’t skip it!
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them more pliable.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of the special sauce onto the center of each tortilla.
- Layer the cooked ground beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, and pickle slices evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the filling for that classic Big Mac touch.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier eating, or serve them whole.
- Serve immediately with extra special sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Customize It: Add sliced tomatoes, bacon, or even a fried egg for extra flavor. You can also swap the beef for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Low-Carb Option: Use large lettuce leaves (like butter lettuce or romaine) instead of tortillas for a keto-friendly version.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare the special sauce and cook the beef ahead of time. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days, then assemble the wraps when ready to eat.
- Kid-Friendly: Let the kids build their own wraps for a fun, interactive meal.
