Description
A healthier twist on the iconic Big Mac, these wraps use lean beef, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, cheese, and a creamy special sauce, all rolled into whole wheat tortillas for a lighter, easier-to-eat version of the classic burger.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup pickles, sliced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing (or Big Mac sauce)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface, spoon the beef mixture into the center, and top with lettuce, pickles, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of dressing.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Optional: Heat the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crispiness.
Notes
Swap beef for turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Use low-carb tortillas to reduce carbs.
Add tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor.
Substitute cheddar with pepper jack for spice.
Make a lighter sauce with Greek yogurt, ketchup, relish, and spices.
Store filling and toppings separately for meal prep to avoid sogginess.
