Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sliced onions
- ¼ cup chopped pickles
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
Preparation
Step 1:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated onion, ketchup, pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and paprika to create the Big Mac sauce. Once well combined, place the sauce in the refrigerator to chill and meld the flavors.
Step 2:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease from the pan.
Step 3:
Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly seasoned.
Step 4:
To assemble the wraps, start by laying out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced onions, chopped pickles, and diced tomatoes.
Step 5:
Add a portion of the seasoned ground beef on top of the vegetables in each tortilla.
Step 6:
Drizzle a generous amount of the Big Mac sauce over the beef and vegetable layers.
Step 7:
Carefully fold the tortillas over the fillings, tucking in the sides to enclose the ingredients, and secure the wraps with a toothpick if necessary.
Step 8:
Serve the wraps immediately while the ingredients are fresh and the beef is warm.
COOKING Note
Be sure to cook the ground beef thoroughly to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to prevent any foodborne illnesses.
Serving Suggestions
Big Mac Wraps can be served with a side of baked fries, a light salad, or just on their own for a complete meal that captures the essence of a Big Mac in a lighter form.
Tips
- For an even lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, and low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the sauce.
- To add more crunch and freshness, consider including additional vegetables like shredded carrots or cucumber.
