How to Make Homemade Big Mac Wraps with Secret Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Secret Sauce

In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sweet relish, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and a touch of vinegar. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Break it up into crumbles and cook until fully done. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas and spread a generous layer of secret sauce in the center. Add shredded lettuce, diced onion, cooked beef, cheddar cheese, and pickle slices. Fold tightly into a burrito-style wrap.

Step 4: Toast the Wraps

Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan. Place each wrap seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Slice in half and serve warm with extra sauce on the side if desired. They’re great alone or with a side of fries or sweet potato chips.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

You can play with this recipe in countless ways. Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner twist. If you’re feeling indulgent, a ground brisket blend adds richness. For a vegetarian version, try seasoned lentils or a plant-based ground meat alternative. Don’t have cheddar on hand? Use American, pepper jack, or even Swiss for a fun spin.

If you’re avoiding gluten, opt for gluten-free tortillas. You can even switch out the pickles with pickled jalapeños for a spicy edge, or toss in tomatoes and avocado for extra flavor layers.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Big Mac wraps make a satisfying meal all on their own, but I love pairing them with a side of crispy oven fries or roasted potato wedges. For something lighter, try a tangy coleslaw or a dill pickle pasta salad.

They also go incredibly well with ice-cold iced tea or a homemade lemonade. If you’re entertaining, serve them alongside some sliders or loaded cheese fries for a full fast-food-inspired spread.

Storage and Reheating Tips

To store, wrap each Big Mac wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and place it in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat to retain the crispy texture, or in an air fryer for 5-7 minutes.

Avoid microwaving if you can, as the tortillas tend to get soggy. If you plan to make these ahead for meal prep, keep the sauce separate and add it just before heating for a fresher taste.
