Why You’ll Love This Homemade Big Mac Wraps Recipe

This wrap brings the best parts of a classic Big Mac into a satisfying, mess-free wrap that’s easier on the calories and quicker to make. You get the same savory burger taste, layered with tangy pickles and special sauce, but in a more convenient form. Whether you’re cooking for kids, packing lunchboxes, or craving comfort food, this wrap satisfies across the board.

The versatility is another big win. Swap beef for ground turkey, use low-carb tortillas, or throw in extra veggies—you can truly make it your own without losing that craveable essence of the original.

What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

Flour tortillas are the classic pick here because they hold everything together without tearing and provide that soft chewiness that contrasts beautifully with the crisp fillings. Opt for 8- or 10-inch tortillas so you can roll and fold with ease. If you’re looking for a healthier twist, whole wheat or low-carb tortillas work great. For something a little different, spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps can add a bit of color and flavor punch.

Ingredients for the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

Let’s talk ingredients. This recipe comes together with simple components, most of which you probably already have on hand. Each ingredient plays a role in capturing that signature Big Mac flavor.

Ground beef – The main protein source, seasoned and browned for that classic burger base.
Salt and pepper – Essential for flavoring the beef.
Tortillas – Soft flour tortillas make it easy to wrap up all the goodness.

Shredded lettuce – Adds crunch and freshness to balance the richness.
Pickles – That sharp, tangy bite is a must for authentic Big Mac vibes.
Shredded cheddar cheese – Melts beautifully and gives that classic cheeseburger taste.

Onion – Finely diced for a pop of flavor in every bite.
Thousand Island dressing – The closest store-bought match to Big Mac “special sauce.”

How To Make the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Warm the Tortillas

While the beef is cooking, warm your tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on a skillet just until they’re soft and pliable. This helps prevent tearing when you fold them.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a warm tortilla flat and layer with shredded cheese first so it melts from the warmth of the beef. Add the cooked beef, followed by shredded lettuce, pickles, diced onion, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.

Step 4: Fold and Serve

Fold the tortilla like a burrito: bottom up, sides in, then roll tightly. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Serving and Storing Your Homemade Big Mac Wraps

This recipe serves 4 to 6 depending on how generously you fill each wrap. It’s a great option for feeding a hungry family or meal prepping for a couple of days. If you’re prepping ahead, store the cooked beef separately and assemble the wraps fresh to avoid soggy tortillas.

Wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but for the best texture, don’t add lettuce or dressing until you’re ready to eat. Reheat the beef in a skillet or microwave before assembling.
