Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the tangy special sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely minced onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
For the wraps
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sliced dill pickles
Directions
I begin by preparing the special sauce. I combine the mayonnaise, minced onion, ketchup, yellow mustard, and chopped dill pickles in a bowl and mix until smooth. I set it aside to let the flavors blend.
I heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. I cook it while breaking it apart, seasoning with salt and black pepper, until it is fully browned. I drain off any excess grease.
I warm the tortillas briefly so they are soft and easy to fold. I place each tortilla on a flat surface and spread about 2 tablespoons of the special sauce in the center. I add a portion of the cooked beef, followed by shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and sliced pickles. I drizzle a little more sauce on top, then fold the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
Servings And Timing
I usually make 4 wraps with this recipe.
Preparation takes about 15 minutes, cooking takes around 10 minutes, and the total time is approximately 25 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes use ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. I also like adding diced onions or extra pickles when I want more crunch. When I want a stronger sauce flavor, I increase the pickles slightly in the dressing.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover cooked beef and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I reheat the beef in a skillet or microwave and assemble the wraps fresh to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
FAQs
Can I prepare the sauce in advance?
I often make the sauce up to two days ahead and keep it refrigerated, which allows the flavors to develop nicely.
What tortillas work best for this recipe?
I prefer large flour tortillas because they are soft, sturdy, and easy to wrap.
Can I make this recipe gluten free?
I make it gluten free by using certified gluten-free tortillas.
Can I serve this as a bowl instead of a wrap?
I like serving the ingredients over lettuce or rice when I want a wrap-free option.
How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?
I make sure not to overfill them and always warm the tortillas before wrapping.

I love these Big Mac Wraps because they deliver classic, comforting flavors in a simple and versatile way. They are quick to prepare, easy to customize, and perfect for any day when I want a satisfying homemade meal.
