It all started on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I was craving something indulgent but didn’t feel like waiting in a drive-thru line. The craving? A Big Mac. But instead of heading out, I peeked into the fridge and realized I had everything I needed to make it at home—with a little twist. So I grabbed some tortillas, browned some beef, and whipped up my version of Big Mac Wraps—and oh my, they hit the spot.
They’re everything you love about the iconic burger: seasoned beef, that signature sauce, crisp lettuce, pickles, and melty cheese—all rolled into a warm wrap. It’s comforting, nostalgic, and just so easy to make. And let’s be honest, they’re even better when you make them yourself.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and vinegar. Stir until smooth and well combined. Chill while you prepare everything else.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, and onion powder until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary, then set aside.

Step 4: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides and roll up tightly, burrito-style. If you like, toast the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes to crisp them up.
