Ingredients for this Homemade Big Mac Wraps with Secret Sauce

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup finely chopped iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced white onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for pan-grilling)

For the Secret Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Use a spatula to break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Secret Sauce

While the beef cooks, prepare the secret sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each flour tortilla flat. Start with a layer of chopped lettuce in the center, followed by diced onions, a generous spoonful of the cooked beef, a drizzle (or dollop!) of secret sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 4: Fold and Grill

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down and grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. This step helps seal them shut and adds a delicious toasted texture.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice in half on the diagonal for that signature diner-style presentation. Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping!


Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of ground beef should I use?

Lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15) works well to keep the wraps juicy but not greasy. Drain excess fat for best results.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble and wrap them in foil, then store in the fridge. Grill just before serving to keep the texture fresh.

What if I don’t have sweet pickle relish?

Chopped dill pickles mixed with a touch of sugar or honey can mimic the flavor well.

Can I make this low-carb?

Absolutely. Swap the flour tortilla with a low-carb wrap or lettuce leaves for a Big Mac lettuce wrap style.

Is the sauce spicy?

Not at all. It’s more tangy and sweet than spicy. But feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne if you like heat.

What cheeses work best?

Cheddar gives that classic Big Mac taste, but feel free to experiment with American, Monterey Jack, or even a spicy pepper jack.
