Ingredients You’ll Need for Big Mac Wraps

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1/2 cup diced white onions
• 1/4 cup dill pickle slices
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and a pinch of garlic powder to create the special sauce. Set aside.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until it’s browned and fully cooked. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for maximum flavor.

3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just until they’re pliable and easier to roll.

4. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on each tortilla.

5. Layer the seasoned beef, American cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and dill pickles on top.

6. Tightly roll up each wrap, securing with toothpicks if needed to hold everything in.

7. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the wraps seam-side down until they’re golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

8. Remove the toothpicks and slice the wraps diagonally in half. Serve immediately while warm and crispy for the best experience.

Fun Ways to Customize It

• Add some heat: Toss in a few slices of jalapeños for a spicy kick! The zesty flavor pairs beautifully with the creaminess of the sauce.

• Swap the protein: Try these with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or go vegetarian with a mix of black beans and corn for a delicious twist.

• Use different cheeses: Swap the American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor or richness.

• Throw in some extras: Add in sliced tomatoes or avocado for an extra burst of freshness and creaminess!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the special sauce a day in advance to save time on busy nights. It’ll develop even more flavor as it sits!

• Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have American cheese, feel free to use whatever cheese you enjoy best. Cheddar or Swiss are both fantastic alternatives.

• Storage Suggestions: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, it’s best to eat them fresh for that delightful crispy texture.
