Ingredients
For the Wraps:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend works best)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
For the Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the special sauce on each tortilla. Divide the cooked ground beef evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and pickle slices.
Fold the Wraps:
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside for an authentic Big Mac touch.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for easy handling. Pair with extra pickles or a side of fries for the full experience!
