  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 4 slices American or cheddar cheese (halved, if needed)

  • 8–12 dill pickle slices

Big Mac-Style Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (¼ tsp each)


🪛 Tools You’ll Need

  • Skillet or frying pan

  • Mixing bowl

  • Whisk or spoon for sauce

  • Spatula

  • Measuring cups and spoons


🔄 Variations & Substitutions

  • Turkey or plant-based meat for leaner or vegetarian versions

  • Low-carb option: use large lettuce leaves in place of tortillas

  • Extra crunch: add shredded carrots or extra onions

  • Spice it up: include a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños

  • Cheese swap: Swiss, pepper jack, or your favorite melty kind


🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the sauce

In a bowl, whisk together mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, and optional spices. Set aside to let flavors meld while you prep the rest.

Step 2: Cook the beef

Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3: Warm tortillas

Gently heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable—but not crisp.

Step 4: Assemble the wraps

On each tortilla:

  • Spread about 1 tablespoon sauce

  • Add a scoop of cooked beef

  • Top with 1–2 tablespoons lettuce and a few diced onions

  • Place a slice of cheese and 1–2 pickle slices

  • Spoon a little more sauce on top

Step 5: Wrap it up

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Slice in half if you like!

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for lunch on the go!


🍽 What to Serve With Them

  • Crisp salad or slaw

  • Spiced sweet potato fries or classic oven fries

  • Fresh fruit or cut veggies

  • Iced tea, soda, or a light beer for pairing


💡 Pro Tips

  • Don’t make tortillas too hot—they should be soft and flexible, not crunchy.

  • Perfect sauce balance: adjust sweetness, tang, or salt to suit your taste.

  • Shred lettuce finely—it fits better and wraps more neatly.

  • Warm the filling slightly to melt cheese gently inside the wrap.


🧊 Storage Instructions

  • Fridge: Store wrapped in foil or airtight container for up to 2 days.

  • Reheat: Microwave or press in a skillet until warmed through and cheese is soft.
