Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Wraps
- 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
- 4 large flour tortillas
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely chopped onions (red or yellow)
- ½ cup sliced dill pickles
Special Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp relish
- 1 tsp mustard (added per instructions)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef for 6-8 minutes until fully browned. Drain any excess fat to keep the filling lean and flavorful.
- Cook onions: Add the finely chopped onions to the skillet with the beef. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes until the onions become translucent and soften. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare special sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and mustard until well combined, forming the classic Big Mac-style sauce.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the special sauce evenly over each tortilla, then evenly distribute the beef and onion mixture, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, and sliced pickles.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Use toothpicks to secure the wraps if needed so they hold their shape.
- Grill the wraps (optional): To enhance flavor and texture, grill each wrap in the skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Serve warm, optionally with extra special sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use 80/20 ground beef to ensure a good balance of flavor and moisture.
- Adjust the amount of special sauce to your personal taste or dietary preferences.
- Grilling the wraps is optional but adds a pleasant crispness and helps meld the flavors.
- Can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas as desired.
- To make ahead, prepare the filling and sauce separately and assemble just before serving.
