Introduction
Big Mac Wraps are the perfect answer for nights when you want big flavor without the big effort. Inspired by the iconic McDonald’s Big Mac, these wraps give you everything you love—juicy seasoned beef, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and that unmistakable “special sauce”—all rolled into a warm tortilla that you can hold in one hand. They’re fast, fun, customizable, and incredibly satisfying.
What makes these wraps so popular is the flavor-to-effort ratio. You get the bold, crave-worthy taste of a classic fast-food burger, but made fresher, hotter, and with more control over the ingredients. No deep frying, no long marinating—just quick cooking, assembling, and rolling. They’re ideal for busy weeknights, after-school meals, or a fun Friday-night “fakeout takeout” dinner that beats drive-thru convenience every time.
This recipe delivers serious flavor with simple pantry staples. It also offers room to play: spice up the beef, toast the wraps, bulk them up with veggies, or serve them taco-style. Whether you’re cooking for picky eaters, hungry teens, or yourself, Big Mac Wraps guarantee a meal that disappears fast.

Big Mac Wraps | Easy 20-Minute Meal With Classic Burger Flavor
Ingredients
For the Beef Filling
-
1 lb ground beef
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
½ cup finely diced onions (optional)
For the Big Mac Sauce
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
3 tablespoons ketchup
-
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
-
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
-
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon sugar
-
Pinch of salt
For the Wraps
-
6 large flour tortillas
-
1 ½ cups shredded lettuce
-
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
-
½ cup diced pickles
-
½ cup diced tomatoes (optional)
-
¼ cup chopped onions (optional)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and break it into crumbles. Cook until browned. Drain excess grease. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and diced onions. Stir well and cook for 2–3 more minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, vinegar, paprika, sugar, and salt. Mix until completely creamy and smooth. Chill for 10 minutes to thicken.
Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side. This helps them become flexible and easier to wrap.
Lay out each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, then a scoop of the seasoned beef. Sprinkle cheese over the warm beef so it melts slightly. Add diced pickles, onions, and tomatoes if using.
Drizzle a generous amount of Big Mac sauce over the fillings. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice diagonally or serve whole.
Optional: Toast the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy finish.
Notes
Avoid overfilling the wraps—too much beef or lettuce makes them difficult to roll. Rewarm the beef before assembling to help melt the cheese naturally. For meal prep, store fillings separately and assemble just before eating.
