Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup diced pickles
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Sauce Creation: Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl until silky. Refrigerate to intensify flavor profiles.
- Meat Preparation: Sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into crumbles. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until beef transforms into a rich caramel-brown, eliminating all pink traces, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain excess grease thoroughly.
- Tortilla Assembly: Spread chilled Big Mac sauce generously across tortilla’s center. Evenly distribute seasoned ground beef over sauce base.
- Flavor Layering: Artfully arrange crisp shredded lettuce, melted shredded cheese, tangy diced pickles, and finely chopped onions across beef foundation.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold tortilla sides inward, creating a secure envelope. Roll wrap meticulously to lock in all ingredients, ensuring a compact presentation.
- Optional Finishing: For a golden crunch, toast wrap seam-side down in a heated skillet, browning each side for 1-2 minutes until achieving a delectable exterior.
- Serving Finale: Slice wrap diagonally and plate immediately. Complement with additional Big Mac sauce for enthusiastic dipping.
Notes
- Sauce Preparation Tip: Prepare Big Mac sauce ahead of time and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to intensify and develop a more robust taste profile.
- Meat Cooking Technique: Break ground beef into small, uniform crumbles while cooking to ensure even browning and prevent large, tough meat chunks.
- Wrap Rolling Hack: Fold tortilla sides tightly and roll with gentle pressure to prevent ingredients from falling out during eating or cooking.
- Crispy Exterior Trick: Use a non-stick skillet and minimal oil when toasting the wrap to achieve a golden-brown crust without making the tortilla greasy.
