Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized, 10–12 inches)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 head iceberg lettuce (finely shredded)
- 1/2 cup dill pickle chips
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- In another small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it into small, crumbly pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and no pink remains.
- Drain excess grease if necessary, then sprinkle the seasoning mix over the beef. Stir to combine and cook for another minute to bloom the spices. Remove from heat.
- While the beef cooks, shred the iceberg lettuce and dice the red onion. Slice pickles if needed.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 15-20 seconds per side or microwave for 30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Place Swiss cheese and shredded cheddar near the bottom edge. Top with warm beef, shredded lettuce, pickle slices, and diced onion.
- Drizzle generously with the Big Mac sauce.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
To prevent sogginess, ensure the beef is well-drained and keep cold veggies separate from hot beef until assembly. Use cheese as a barrier on the tortilla. The sauce tastes better if made ahead and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes. Do not freeze assembled wraps with fresh veggies; freeze beef and sauce separately instead.
