Big Mac wraps take everything I love about the classic fast food burger—the juicy beef, creamy special sauce, shredded lettuce, pickles, and cheese—and wrap it all up in a warm tortilla. It’s a quick, handheld twist on a fast food favorite that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a fun party snack.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s fast, flavorful, and way easier to make than stacking burgers. I get all the Big Mac flavor without the mess, and the wraps are perfect for prepping ahead or taking on the go. They’re totally customizable, and I can even make them a little lighter by using lean beef or whole wheat tortillas.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Ground beef
- Salt and pepper
- Onion (finely chopped)
- Large flour tortillas
- American cheese slices
- Shredded lettuce
- Dill pickles (sliced)
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
For the Big Mac Sauce:
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Sweet relish
- Mustard
- Vinegar
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
Directions
- I brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat with salt, pepper, and a handful of finely chopped onions. I cook until fully browned, then drain any excess grease.
- While the beef is cooking, I stir together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and chill it in the fridge until ready to use.
- I warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
- To assemble, I lay out each tortilla and add a layer of cooked ground beef, a slice of American cheese, a drizzle of Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, pickles, and more chopped onion if I like.
- I fold the sides in and roll up each tortilla like a burrito.
- I toast them seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- I slice in half and serve with extra sauce for dipping.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes about 4 wraps. It takes around 15 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook, so I’ve got dinner ready in about 30 minutes.
Variations
- I use ground turkey or plant-based beef for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- I add chopped tomatoes or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Sometimes I use low-carb tortillas or spinach wraps for a different twist.
- A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top gives it that classic Big Mac bun vibe.
Storage/Reheating
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I reheat them in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispiness. I don’t recommend microwaving if I want to keep the wrap from getting soggy.
FAQs
Can I make the sauce ahead?
Yes! I make the Big Mac sauce and store it in the fridge for up to a week. It’s also great on burgers and sandwiches.
Can I freeze Big Mac wraps?
I’ve frozen the cooked beef and made wraps fresh, but I don’t recommend freezing assembled wraps—they get soggy when thawed.
What kind of tortilla should I use?
I like large flour tortillas because they hold everything without tearing. Burrito-size wraps work best.
Can I make these without cheese?
Definitely. I’ve skipped the cheese for a dairy-free version and it still tastes great.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
I reheat them in a skillet or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through and crispy on the outside.
Conclusion
Big Mac wraps are everything I love about the classic burger—just easier, faster, and totally crave-worthy. Whether I’m making a quick weeknight meal or feeding a crowd, these wraps always hit the spot. Once I started making them at home, the drive-thru just couldn’t compete.
