Ingredients

For the Wraps:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • ½ cup dill pickle slices
  • ½ cup Big Mac-style sauce (recipe below)

For the Special Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp French dressing
  • 1 tbsp sweet relish
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Pinch of paprika

Directions

  1. Brown the Beef
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with salt and pepper until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Make the Special Sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Chill in the fridge while you prep the wraps.
  3. Assemble the Wraps
    Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, cooked beef, diced onions, pickle slices, and a generous drizzle of special sauce.
  4. Wrap It Up
    Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito. Slice in half for easier serving.
  5. Optional Crunch Factor
    For crispy edges, grill the wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
