How to Make It
Prepare to indulge in this delightful wrap with these simple steps.
Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Make the Big Mac Sauce:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Wraps:
Spread 2 tablespoons of the Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Layer with cooked beef, shredded lettuce, diced onion, pickles, and cheese slices. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
Optional – Toast the Wraps:
Place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
Serve:
Cut wraps in half and serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, shredded cheddar, and sliced jalapeños.
