Ingredients
  

Wrap Filling
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20) Swap for ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter option.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped Caramelize slightly for sweeter notes.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce Or swap with romaine for more texture.
  • 1/4 cup finely diced dill pickles
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps Use whole-wheat for a healthier option.
  • 4 slices American cheese or melty cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons butter Use olive oil for a dairy-free alternative.
Big Mac-style Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • Pinch onion powder

Method
 

Make the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Taste and adjust as needed.
Brown the Beef
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the meat into small pieces with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is deeply browned and the onions are soft, about 7 to 9 minutes.
Prepare the Wraps
  1. Warm a clean skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet for 20 seconds on each side just to soften and add a slight golden color. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Assemble
  1. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce on each warm tortilla. Spoon a quarter of the beef mixture down the center of each wrap. Top with a slice of cheese, a sprinkle of shredded lettuce, and a scattering of diced pickles.
Melt and Fold
  1. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up and the sides in, rolling into a snug wrap. If you like the cheese extra melty, place assembled wraps seam-side down on the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese loosens and the outside is crisp.
Serve
  1. Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately with extra sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, store the sauce separately and assemble wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess. Keep the sauce slightly chilled before assembly.
