Fast Food-Quality Big Mac Wrappers Ready in Just 20 Minutes, Surpassing Taste of Commercial Brands
Big Mac wraps are a fast, foolproof, and kid-approved alternative to the traditional Big Mac burger. These handheld treats offer all the flavor of the classic sandwich without the mess, making them perfect for on-the-go meals.
The Recipe
To make Big Mac wraps, you'll need lean ground beef, large flour tortillas, shredded iceberg lettuce, finely diced white onions, thinly sliced dill pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, Big Mac sauce, vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and optional ingredients such as crispy bacon or crushed potato chips for extra crunch.
The recipe developer has also provided a quick fix for Big Mac sauce, which is a simple mixture of 3 parts mayo, 1 part ketchup, a teaspoon each of sweet pickle relish and white vinegar, plus a pinch of paprika and garlic powder. For those following a vegan diet, the recipe can be easily adapted by using plant-based patties, vegan mayonnaise, and cheese alternatives.
Preparation
Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet with oil, draining off any excess fat, and seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave to prevent cracking.
Next, spread Big Mac sauce on the tortillas, layer the cooked beef, lettuce, onions, pickles, and cheese, and roll tightly. If desired, add crispy bacon or crushed potato chips for extra crunch, or diced tomatoes or avocado slices for a veggie boost.
Cooking and Serving
Big Mac wraps can be placed in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5-7 minutes until crispy and warm inside. They can also be wrapped in foil for later or eaten immediately while the cheese is melted.
For a more convenient meal, Big Mac wraps can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, with the lettuce added before serving. They can be served with crispy shoestring fries, a simple side salad with ranch, or extra Big Mac sauce for dipping.
Storage and Tips
Leftover Big Mac wraps can be stored in foil or an airtight container for up to 2 days. To prevent the wraps from falling apart, avoid overfilling and fold the sides first before rolling. Foil can also help hold everything together.
For those on a gluten-free diet, gluten-free tortillas such as corn or almond flour wraps can be used as an alternative.
