How to Make the Recipe

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the seasonings.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet pickle relish, pickle juice (if using), garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. This is your homemade Big Mac sauce.

Step 4

Warm the wraps or tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable.

Step 5

Assemble the wraps by spreading a generous amount of the Big Mac sauce onto each wrap.

Step 6

Add a layer of cooked ground beef, then top with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, dill pickles, and chopped onions if desired.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling and roll tightly to enclose the ingredients.

Tips for Making the Recipe

• Use lean ground beef (90% or higher) to reduce grease and keep the wraps tidy.
• Don’t overmix the beef mixture to keep it tender and juicy.
• Warm your wraps before assembling to prevent cracking.
• Customize the sauce sweetness or tanginess by adjusting ketchup and pickle relish amounts.
• Add fresh veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers for added crunch and nutrition.

How to Serve

Serve Big Mac Wraps warm for a satisfying meal. They pair well with a side salad, baked sweet potato fries, or a simple vegetable soup for a balanced lunch or dinner.
