A healthier and fun twist on the iconic Big Mac, I make these Big Mac Wraps with lean beef, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and a creamy homemade special sauce, all rolled into a soft tortilla. They’re quick, satisfying, and a little lighter than the drive-thru version, making them perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep.

Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ cup diced onion

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

¼ cup pickles, sliced

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup Thousand Island dressing (or Big Mac sauce)

Directions

I heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.

I add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through.

I stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then remove the skillet from the heat.

I warm tortillas in a dry skillet or the microwave for about 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable.

I place a tortilla on a clean surface, spoon the beef mixture into the center, and top it with lettuce, pickles, both cheeses, and a drizzle of dressing.

I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.

I repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

For extra crispiness, I sometimes heat the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.

Variations

I swap beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.

I use low-carb tortillas when I want to cut back on carbs.

I add tomato slices or jalapeños for extra flavor.

I swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese when I want more spice.

I use a homemade lightened-up Big Mac sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with ketchup, relish, and spices.

Storage/reheating

I store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If I’m making them ahead, I keep the fillings separate and assemble just before eating to prevent sogginess. To reheat, I warm them in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, flipping once, or heat them in the microwave for 30–40 seconds.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, but I prefer to store the filling and toppings separately, then assemble just before eating to keep them fresh.

Can I freeze Big Mac wraps?

I can freeze just the cooked beef mixture for up to 2 months, then thaw and reassemble fresh wraps when needed.

How do I make the sauce from scratch?

I mix mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of paprika to create a homemade Big Mac-style sauce.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes, I swap the beef for plant-based ground meat or crumbled tofu and season it the same way.

How can I make these lower in calories?

I use lean ground turkey, low-fat cheese, and a light dressing, and opt for low-carb tortillas.

Conclusion

I love how these Big Mac Wraps bring the iconic fast-food taste into my kitchen without the guilt. They’re quick, customizable, and perfect for satisfying a craving in under 30 minutes. Whether I make them for a weeknight dinner or prep them ahead for lunches, they’re always a hit.
