Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or low-carb if desired)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced pickles
- 1/2 cup diced onions
For the Big Mac Sauce:
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons diced pickles (or relish)
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
- Cook the Beef: I heat a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. I cook until browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, I whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, diced pickles, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
- Assemble the Wraps: I lay out each tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese. I add a layer of beef, drizzle on the Big Mac sauce, then top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, and extra pickles.
- Wrap and Serve: I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. For a melty finish, I sometimes toast the wrap seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes.

Variations
Sometimes I make these with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If I want extra crunch, I add shredded cabbage or even a few baked fries inside. For a spicier twist, I stir hot sauce or sriracha into the Big Mac sauce.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover beef and sauce separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, I reheat the beef, then assemble a fresh wrap. I don’t recommend storing assembled wraps, since the lettuce can wilt.
FAQs
Can I make these low-carb?
Yes! I use low-carb tortillas or even wrap everything in large lettuce leaves.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely. I store it in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 week—it actually tastes better after sitting for a day.
What cheese works best?
I usually use cheddar, but American cheese slices give it that true Big Mac taste.
Can I meal prep these?
Yes, I prep the beef and sauce ahead. I assemble the wraps fresh for the best texture.
Do I have to toast the wraps?
Not at all. They’re delicious cold, but I love the extra flavor and melted cheese when I toast them.
Conclusion
These Big Mac Wraps are proof that I can enjoy my fast-food cravings in a healthier, homemade way. They’re quick, satisfying, and full of flavor—without the drive-thru. Whether I’m whipping them up for a speedy weeknight dinner or prepping the components for easy lunches, this recipe always delivers that nostalgic Big Mac taste with a fresher twist.
