Variations
-
Low-Carb Option: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a Big Mac lettuce wrap.
-
Spicy Version: Add jalapeños or a spicy mayo for a kick.
-
Vegetarian: Substitute ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative.
-
Cheeseburger Style: Add a slice of American cheese while the beef is still hot for a melty upgrade.
-
Grilled Wraps: After assembly, lightly grill the wraps in a pan for a crispy exterior.
storage/reheating
Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat the beef in a skillet or microwave before assembling wraps. Tortillas can be warmed in a dry pan or microwave. Assembled wraps are best enjoyed fresh, as lettuce and pickles may lose texture upon reheating.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
It’s best to prep ingredients ahead and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
What’s the best way to reheat the ground beef?
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
Can I freeze these wraps?
It’s not recommended to freeze fully assembled wraps, but you can freeze the cooked beef for up to 2 months.
What is in the special sauce?
A mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika creates a sauce similar to Big Mac sauce.
Can I use turkey instead of beef?

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

Can I toast the wraps?
Yes, lightly grill or toast the wraps in a skillet for extra crunch and warmth.
How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?
Warm the tortillas before assembling and don’t overfill them to make wrapping easier.
Can I add tomatoes or other vegetables?

Is there a dairy-free version?
Omit the cheese and use a dairy-free sauce to make the wraps suitable for dairy-free diets.
