Why You’ll Love This Homemade Big Mac Wrap

These wraps hit all the right notes: savory, tangy, crunchy, and creamy. They’re quicker to make than you think and are completely customizable. Whether you stick to the classic combo or swap in turkey or plant-based meat, the taste is still a knockout. They also travel well, making them a great option for on-the-go meals or packed lunches.

What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?

The best tortilla for Big Mac wraps is a large, soft flour tortilla. Burrito-size wraps work perfectly because they hold all the layers and fold up neatly. If you’re watching carbs, a low-carb tortilla works well too. Just make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold up under the saucy filling.

Ingredients for the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

The ingredients in this recipe are simple but chosen for maximum flavor. Each one plays a role in delivering that nostalgic Big Mac taste.

Ground beef: This is the heart of the wrap. Choose 80/20 for rich flavor or go leaner if you prefer.

Salt & pepper: A pinch of each is all you need to season the beef just right.

Shredded lettuce: Adds that essential crunch and freshness that balances the warm beef and melty cheese.

Diced onions: Brings in sharpness and texture, a must-have for authenticity.

Pickles: Chopped dill pickles give a tangy zing that mimics the signature burger flavor.

Cheddar cheese: A slice or shredded cheese adds gooey richness and helps pull the wrap together.

Big Mac sauce: A homemade or store-bought version of that classic special sauce is what makes it magic.

Flour tortillas: Go with large soft ones that you can wrap easily without tearing.

How To Make the Homemade Big Mac Wraps

Step 1: Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2: Prep Your Fillings

While the beef is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the onion, and slice or chop the pickles. Get your cheese and sauce ready.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

To make folding easier and avoid tearing, warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat and spread a layer of Big Mac sauce. Add the cooked beef, shredded cheese, lettuce, onions, and pickles. Don’t overfill or it’ll be hard to fold.

Step 5: Toast the Wrap (Optional but Recommended)

Fold the wrap like a burrito and place it seam-side down in a skillet. Toast until golden and the cheese is melted. Flip and toast the other side.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Cut in half and serve hot. Now it’s time to dig into that homemade Big Mac magic!

How to Serve and Store These Wraps

These wraps are best served right off the skillet while the cheese is gooey and the wrap is warm and toasty. They make a full meal on their own, but you can pair them with oven fries, a side salad, or even fresh fruit for balance. One batch of this recipe makes about 4 to 6 wraps depending on how generously you fill them, making it perfect for a family meal or leftovers.

If you have extras, wrap them in foil or an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast in a skillet or use an air fryer to bring back the crispness.
