These Easy Big Mac Wraps are a fun twist on a classic burger! With juicy beef, cheese, lettuce, and a special sauce all wrapped up in a tortilla, they’re perfect for busy days.
Who knew making a Big Mac at home could be this easy? I love making these wraps for a quick dinner. Plus, they’re super fun to eat, and you can customize them just how you like!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Ground Beef: An 80/20 blend is ideal for juicy wraps, but you can use leaner beef or ground turkey for a healthier option. For a vegetarian version, try cooked lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are perfect, but corn tortillas work too. If you’re avoiding gluten, look for gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves for a low-carb alternative.
Cheese: Cheddar cheese adds great flavor, but feel free to experiment. American or a Mexican blend cheese can bring a different taste to your wraps.
Big Mac Sauce: This sauce is key for that classic taste. If short on time, you could use store-bought Thousand Island dressing as a quicker option.
How Do I Keep My Wraps From Falling Apart?
A common issue with wraps is keeping everything inside without making a mess. Here are some tips to ensure your wraps hold together:
- Warm your tortillas first. This makes them more flexible and less likely to crack.
- Don’t overfill your wraps! Stick to a reasonable amount to make folding easier.
- Fold in the sides first before rolling tightly from the bottom. This keeps the filling contained.
- If it’s still tricky, wrap the finished wraps in foil to hold them together until you’re ready to eat.

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 15 minutes of prep time and around 10 minutes to cook the filling. You’ll be enjoying these delicious wraps in just about 25 minutes total!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make the Big Mac Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir everything together until well mixed, and set the sauce aside. This is what gives your wraps that classic Big Mac flavor!
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef to the skillet. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook while breaking up the meat with a spatula until it’s browned and fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes. After cooking, drain any excess grease from the pan.
3. Prepare the Tortillas:
Lightly warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds. This makes them softer and easier to work with when you’re wrapping your ingredients!
4. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the Big Mac sauce in the center of the tortilla. Next, add a portion of the cooked ground beef over the sauce. Then, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
5. Add Fresh Toppings:
Top the cheese with a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce and some diced pickles. If you want, drizzle a little more Big Mac sauce on top for extra flavor!
6. Roll It Up:
Carefully fold both sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly up to enclose all the delicious fillings inside. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients and tortillas.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
You can serve these wraps immediately for a fresh meal, or wrap them in foil to take on-the-go. They’re perfect for a quick lunch or dinner—enjoy your tasty Big Mac Wraps!

Frequently Asked Questions about Easy Big Mac Wraps
Can I Use Leaner Meat or Alternatives?
Yes! While an 80/20 blend is recommended for juiciness, you can use leaner ground beef or even ground turkey for a healthier option. If you’re looking for a vegetarian choice, try using lentils or plant-based ground meat alternatives.
What If I Don’t Have All the Sauce Ingredients?
No worries! If you’re missing some ingredients for the Big Mac sauce, you can simplify it by using store-bought Thousand Island dressing or a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup. Get creative with what you have on hand!
How Do I Store Leftover Wraps?
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Before eating, it’s best to reheat them in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave. If the wrap feels a bit dry, add a splash of water before covering it when reheating to help keep it moist.
Can I Make These Wraps Ahead of Time?
Definitely! You can prepare the filling and make the sauce ahead of time, then assemble the wraps just before serving. This makes them perfect for meal prep! Just keep the tortilla separate until you’re ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
