Description
A quick and easy weeknight dinner that recreates the flavors of a Big Mac in a handheld tortilla wrap. Using simple ingredients like ground beef, shredded lettuce, pickles, and a homemade special sauce, these wraps offer fast-food comfort with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 6–8 inch flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup pickle chips
- 1/4 cup finely diced onions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and white vinegar. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce, then chop into fine shreds. Dice the onions finely. Toss lettuce and onions in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease if desired.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side or in the microwave for 15 seconds until pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a generous spoonful of special sauce down the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, cheese, hot beef crumbles, and pickle slices.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure lettuce is completely dry to prevent soggy wraps. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Layer lettuce directly on the tortilla to create a moisture barrier. For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken. For a vegetarian version, use crumbled tofu or plant-based meat alternatives.
