Description
A quick, cheap, and delicious lunch hack that recreates the taste of a Big Mac in a portable wrap format using ground beef, special sauce, and fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 head Iceberg Lettuce (finely shredded)
- 1/2 Red Onion (finely diced)
- 4–6 Dill Pickle Chips
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sweet Dill Pickle Relish
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, white vinegar, pickle relish, garlic powder, and paprika to make the special sauce. Set aside.
- Shred the iceberg lettuce and finely dice the red onion. Slice pickles into thin chips if not using chips.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula.
- Season beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess grease if necessary, but leave a little for flavor.
- Warm tortillas in the same skillet for 10-15 seconds per side until pliable. Stack and cover with a towel.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of special sauce in the center, leaving a border.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce, followed by the hot ground beef.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, and pickle chips.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top.
- Cut diagonally if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, keep ingredients cold until assembly to create a textural contrast. Ensure lettuce and onions are dry to prevent soggy wraps. The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
