I've made a lot of questionable food decisions in my life, but turning a Big Mac into a wrap might be one I'm the proudest of. These Big Mac Wraps have all the flavor you remember from the drive-thru. The tangy special sauce, the seasoned ground beef, the shredded lettuce, all folded into a tortilla instead of stacked between three buns (be honest, three buns is just too many buns). And unlike the drive-thru, all the lettuce actually ends up on the sandwich instead of being tossed loose in the box like confetti nobody asked for.

If you're a fan of that Big Mac flavor, you've got options beyond this Big Mac wrap. I also have a recipe for Big Mac smash tacos if you want the same flavors in taco form, a Big Mac salad for a lighter spin, and the Big Mac sauce recipe on its own if you just want to keep a jar of it in the fridge at all times (I don't blame you).
Make these Big Mac wraps using my homemade flour tortillas recipe, and of course, these baked hand-cut French fries tie it all together for a full combo meal.

How To Make Big Mac Wraps
Step 1
Start by making the Big Mac sauce and prepping the vegetables. Then brown the ground beef in a skillet, drain off the extra fat, and season it.

Step 2
In the center of a large tortilla, add shredded cheese, topped with ground beef, and a sprinkle of diced onions.
Step 3
Add a handful of shredded lettuce, lots of sliced pickles and finish with a generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce and fold it up burrito style.
Step 4
Toast the wrap seam side down in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until it is golden brown on all sides.
Step 5
A quick slice down the middle and it's ready to serve! Serve with French fries, gouda mac and cheese, or kale caesar salad.
Tips For The Best Wraps
- If your tortillas are ripping easily, warm them for a few seconds in a dry skillet or in the microwave before filling them to make them more flexible.
- Don't overfill the tortilla wraps. I know it's tempting to just pile everything on, but an overstuffed wrap will just fall apart the second you pick it up. Less filling, tighter fold, happier bite.
- Pat the lettuce dry. Wet lettuce makes the tortillas soggy fast.
- Toast the wrap seam side down first. That's what seals the fold shut, if you toast the wrong side first, it might pop open on you.
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftover components separately rather than as assembled wraps. Keep the cooked beef in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, and the sauce keeps up to 5 days. Store the vegetables separately in airtight containers. If you have leftover assembled Big Mac wraps, wrap them tightly with plastic wrap and eat them within a day.
FAQ's
A Big Mac wrap swaps the bun for a soft flour tortilla filled with seasoned ground beef, Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onion, sliced pickles, and cheese. All the classics of the burger wrapped into a handheld version!
Yes! They are extremely meal prep friendly. Cook and season the beef, make the sauce, and prep the veggies ahead of time, then store separately in the fridge and assemble right before serving so the tortillas don't go soggy.
French fries are the classic pairing, but sweet potato fries, broccoli salad, or poutine are all great options!

Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 4 Flour Tortillas
- 3 cups Iceberg Lettuce shredded
- 1 small White Onion finely diced
- 3 medium Dill Pickles sliced
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
Big Mac Sauce
- 6 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Dill Pickles finely diced
- 1 Tablespoons Pickle Juice
- ½ Tablespoon Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Yellow Mustard
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Paprkia
- ¼ teaspoon Mustard Powder
Instructions
- Whisk together the Big Mac sauce first, so it has time to sit while everything else cooks. Dice the onions, slice the pickles, and shred the lettuce and cheese, then set them aside.👉 See my full Big Mac sauce recipe for more instructions and tips.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes. Drain the excess fat, then stir in the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, add ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, top it with ¼ of the seasoned ground beef, then sprinkle over the diced onion. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a generous layer of sliced pickles, then finish with a good drizzle of Big Mac sauce over the top.
- To fold the wrap burrito-style, fold in the two opposite sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling, tucking it in snugly, and roll the whole thing forward away from yourself until it is sealed shut, seam-side down.
- Place the wrap seam side down in a large dry frying pan or cast iron and heat over medium-low heat, toasting all sides to a perfect golden brown. Slice the wrap in half and serve it alongside French fries, a side salad, or mac and cheese.

Notes
- Ground Beef: Ground beef can be swapped for ground chicken or turkey, but you'll lose the classic beefy flavor.
- Tortillas: Store-bought or homemade flour tortillas work perfectly.
- Big Mac Sauce: For four wraps, all you will need is half a recipe of the sauce, which is the measurements I have listed above.
- Optional Add-ins: Give these wraps some spice by adding banana peppers or pickled jalapeño. Add more veggies like diced tomatoes, mushrooms or cucumber slices for a fuller wrap.
- If your tortillas rip easily, warm them for a few seconds in the microwave or a frying pan to make them more flexible.
- Avoid overfilling the tortillas, an overstuffed wrap wont stay folded and can make the wraps rip easier.
- Wash the lettuce, but make sure it's dry, otherwise the wrap could be soggy.
- Store leftovers for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. All components of the wrap should be stored separately and assembled fresh for the best results. Assembled wraps should be wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and eaten within 24 hours.
