Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 4 wraps and takes approximately 25 minutes from start to finish, including prep and cooking time. Each wrap serves one person generously.
Variations
I sometimes swap the ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner version. If I want more texture, I add diced tomatoes or red onions. I’ve also tried using low-carb or whole wheat tortillas when I’m looking for a lighter option. For spice lovers, a little hot sauce in the Big Mac sauce gives it a nice kick.
storage/reheating
If I have leftovers, I wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I toast them in a skillet over medium heat until warm and crisp. The microwave works too, but I prefer the skillet for keeping that wrap texture just right.
FAQs
What kind of beef works best for this recipe?
I like to use 80/20 ground beef for a good balance of flavor and moisture, but leaner beef works fine too if I’m trying to cut back on fat.
Can I make the Big Mac sauce in advance?
Yes, I often make it ahead of time—it keeps well in the fridge for up to a week and even tastes better after the flavors meld together.
Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
I don’t recommend freezing them fully assembled, as the lettuce and sauce don’t hold up well. However, I can freeze the cooked beef and make fresh wraps when needed.
What cheese is best to use?
American cheese gives it that classic Big Mac flavor, but I’ve used cheddar and even pepper jack for a different twist.
Can I make these vegetarian?
Definitely—I swap in plant-based ground beef or cooked lentils and still get that Big Mac vibe. Just make sure to use vegetarian-friendly cheese and sauce ingredients.
