Ingredients

For the wraps

Here are the easy ingredients you’ll need to create the burger wraps themselves.

• Ground beef (90%+ lean): Juicy and flavorful without being overly greasy. Ground turkey or chicken can be swapped in if you prefer.

• Yellow onion: Half is sautéed with the beef for flavor, and the other half is added raw for crunch.

• Shredded cheddar cheese: Adds melty, savory richness. Use dairy-free cheese if you want to keep it dairy-free.

• Shredded lettuce: Crisp and refreshing, the perfect contrast to the warm beef and sauce. Romaine or iceberg both work well.

• Dill pickles: A must for the Big Mac flavor- slice them thin so they wrap easily.

• Soft flour tortilla: Use large tortillas for easy rolling. Choosing high-fiber or whole-grain tortillas adds extra nutrition and makes the wraps more filling.

For the sauce

This sauce is a healthier take on a classic Big Mac sauce recipe. It gives you those classic Big Mac flavors with a healthier alternative.

• Mayonnaise: The creamy base of the sauce that gives it richness and healthy fats. You can use avocado oil mayo for a lighter option. 

• Greek yogurt: Adds tang and a boost of protein while cutting down on fat compared to all mayo. If you’re dairy-free, simply replace it with more mayo.

• Sweet pickle relish: Brings the signature tangy-sweet bite that makes Big Mac sauce unique. Dill relish works if you want less sweetness.

• Grated yellow onion (with juices): Infuses the sauce with bold flavor. Don’t skip the juices, as they add depth and balance!

• Yellow mustard: Essential for that classic tangy kick.

• White vinegar: Just a splash to brighten the sauce and balance the richness.

• Paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt: A simple but flavorful blend that gives the sauce a smoky, savory finish.

Bonus: you can add this amazing copycat Big Mac sauce on other meals, too!

How to Make It

Step 1: Make the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sweet pickle relish, grated onion with juices, mustard, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth, then set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2: Cook the beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and half of the diced onion. Cook, breaking the beef apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink and the onion has softened. Drain any excess grease from the pan.

Step 3: Assemble the wraps

Lay out your tortillas and spread a layer of sauce onto each one. Divide the beef mixture evenly among the wraps. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, and the remaining raw onion for crunch.

Step 4: Wrap it up

Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides if needed to keep the filling in place.

Optional Step 5: Toast the wraps

For a warm, crisp finish, place the rolled wraps back into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.

Tip: Save time by making the sauce and cooking the beef ahead of time. 

Tips, Variations, & Substitutions

Here are some variations and substitutions to help you customize this Big Mac wrap recipe.

• Make these your own by adding your favorite burger toppings, such as fresh veggies.
• Use high-fiber or whole grain tortillas to add extra fiber and keep you fuller longer. If you’re doing a low carb diet, try a low carb tortilla option.
• Dairy free? Make it dairy-free by swapping the Greek yogurt for more mayo in the sauce and using dairy-free cheese (or leaving it out).
• Switch up the protein by using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Go vegetarian with a plant-based ground meat alternative such as Impossible meat or cooked lentils seasoned the same way as the beef.
• Make it gluten-free by using certified gluten-free tortillas and double-checking condiments like mustard and relish.
• Want more crunch? If you like extra crunch, add shredded carrots, cabbage, or even a few tortilla strips inside the wrap.
• For meal prep, store the sauce and beef separately and assemble fresh wraps when ready to eat so the tortillas don’t get soggy.
• Like it spicy? Add spice with a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes mixed into the beef or the sauce.

How to Store It

In the fridge: store any leftover beef mixture and sauce in a separate airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. This keeps the tortillas from getting soggy and makes it easy to assemble fresh wraps when you’re ready to eat.

In the freezer: if you want to freeze, prepare only the cooked beef mixture. Once cooled, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or bag and store for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Assembled wraps don’t hold up well in the freezer, so it’s best to make them fresh.

How to Serve It

These Big Mac Wraps are versatile and can be enjoyed in plenty of ways depending on the occasion. 

• Quick lunch: Perfect for a satisfying mid-day meal that comes together in minutes.
• Family dinner: Serve with a side salad, roasted veggies, or sweet potato fries for a balanced meal.
• Meal prep option: Pack the beef and sauce separately and assemble fresh wraps at work, school, or on busy nights.
• Appetizer style: Slice the wraps into pinwheels and secure with toothpicks for a fun, shareable party snack.
• Salad: Make a Big Mac salad by adding everything on top of lettuce instead of in a tortilla. You’ll get the flavors of a Big Mac hamburger, without extra carbs.
