Key Ingredients for Big Mac Wraps
When it comes to homemade Big Mac wraps, using the right ingredients is key to capturing that classic flavor while adding your own twist. Here’s a rundown of the ingredients that make this wrap irresistible:
- Flour tortillas
Soft and pliable, the flour tortillas are the perfect vehicle to wrap up all the delicious fillings. They provide a neutral base, letting the bold flavors inside really shine. - Ground beef
Juicy and savory, ground beef is the foundation of this wrap, giving you that rich, meaty flavor reminiscent of a Big Mac. It’s seasoned just right to add depth to every bite. - Olive oil
A touch of olive oil helps cook the beef to perfection, ensuring it’s juicy and tender. It also adds a subtle richness to the overall flavor profile. - Salt
A simple yet essential ingredient, salt brings out all the natural flavors in the beef and helps balance the special sauce’s tangy notes. - Black pepper
The black pepper adds a bit of spice, providing a gentle kick that contrasts beautifully with the creamy special sauce and fresh toppings. - Onion powder
Onion powder is the secret ingredient that adds a savory, slightly sweet flavor without the texture of raw onions. It enhances the overall umami of the wrap. - Garlic powder
Just like onion powder, garlic powder adds depth and a rich, aromatic note that complements the beef and special sauce. - White vinegar
A small splash of white vinegar in the sauce brings a bit of tang, balancing out the creamy mayonnaise and ketchup to create that signature Big Mac zip. - Mayonnaise
The creamy base of the special sauce, mayonnaise gives that smooth texture we all know and love, making each bite feel indulgent. - Ketchup
Sweet and slightly tangy, ketchup is a key ingredient in the sauce, helping to create that classic Big Mac flavor. - Mustard
A little mustard goes a long way in the sauce, giving it a zesty bite that elevates the overall taste of the wrap. - Sweet pickle relish
This adds a burst of sweetness and crunch, helping to mimic the pickle flavor you’d find in the original Big Mac. - Finely chopped onions
These little bits of onion contribute a sharp, fresh bite that cuts through the richness of the beef and sauce, providing balance to each bite. - American cheese
Melty and mild, American cheese is the perfect choice for this wrap. It adds that gooey, comforting texture that ties everything together. - Shredded lettuce
Crisp and refreshing, shredded lettuce adds a light crunch and freshness, making every bite feel a little lighter and more satisfying. - Diced pickles
Diced pickles give that familiar vinegary tang and crunch, bringing the perfect punch of flavor to each bite of your wrap.
How to Make Homemade Big Mac Wraps With Special Sauce
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula.
- Season the beef with the salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the beef cooks, prepare the special sauce by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, and sweet pickle relish in a small bowl.
- Stir the sauce mixture well until it is smooth and evenly combined.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
- Lay the two large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Place two slices of American cheese on the center of each tortilla.
- Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the cheese slices on both tortillas.
- Add a generous spoonful of the special sauce over the beef on both tortillas.
- Top the beef and sauce with shredded lettuce, making sure to cover the beef evenly.
- Sprinkle the diced pickles over the lettuce.
- Scatter the finely chopped onions over the pickles and lettuce.
- Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla to secure the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly to form wraps.
- Place the wraps seam-side down on a clean surface.
- If desired, heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast the wraps for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions for Homemade Big Mac Wraps With Special Sauce
1. Pair with Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
You can’t go wrong with a side of crispy, golden-brown sweet potato fries! Their slight sweetness complements the savory richness of the Big Mac wrap, and that crunch? Oh, it’s like a perfect bite of balance. Dip them in the leftover special sauce for a flavor combo that’s hard to beat!
2. Serve with a Side Salad for Freshness
Balance out the indulgence of the wrap with a simple side salad. A mix of fresh greens like arugula or spinach, topped with a tangy vinaigrette, brings a burst of freshness to cut through the richness of the wrap. It’s a great way to add some veggies without sacrificing any of that satisfying flavor.
3. Make It a Meal With Homemade Onion Rings
If you’re in the mood for something extra indulgent, homemade onion rings are the way to go. Crunchy on the outside, sweet and tender on the inside—they add the perfect amount of texture and flavor contrast to your Big Mac wrap. Plus, they’ll look pretty awesome piled up next to it!
How to Store Homemade Big Mac Wraps With Special Sauce
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers or want to prep ahead for the week, storing these Big Mac wraps correctly will help keep them fresh and tasty. To start, if you’re storing them for just a day or two, simply wrap each Big Mac wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. This will lock in the flavor and prevent the tortilla from drying out. Pop them in an airtight container or a zip-top bag, and store them in the fridge. The wrap will stay good for about 2 to 3 days, and when you’re ready, you can enjoy them cold or heat them up in a skillet to bring back that golden crisp.
If you want to store your wraps for a longer period, freezing them is a great option. Wrap each individual Big Mac wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, or place them in a freezer-safe bag. When properly sealed, they can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, just thaw them in the fridge overnight and heat them up in a skillet to restore that satisfying crunch and melty cheese.
Lastly, if you’ve made extra special sauce and want to store it separately, just place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to a week. That way, you can add a dollop of extra sauce to your wraps whenever the craving hits, keeping the Big Mac flavor fresh each time.
