  • 1 tbsp Pickle Relish – crunchy zing that defines the flavor.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Beef Marinade
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire, and paprika. Use your hands to blend gently over-mixing makes it tough. Let rest 10 minutes so the seasoning soaks in.
  3. Cook the Beef
  4. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the beef until browned and sizzling, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease, but leave a teaspoon for moisture. The aroma will instantly remind you of your favorite burger joint.
  5. Make the Big Mac Sauce
  6. In a small bowl, whisk mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, paprika, and garlic powder. Adjust sweetness or tang as you like. Chill the sauce in the fridge while you prep everything else it thickens slightly and tastes better cold.
  7. Prep the Wrap Base
  8. Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave for 10 seconds each side to prevent tearing. Soft tortillas roll more easily and toast evenly.
  9. Assemble Layers
  10. Spread 1–2 tbsp of Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Add a cheese slice, spoon warm beef on top, sprinkle onions and pickles, and finish with a handful of lettuce. Every bite should include a little of everything balance is key.
  11. Wrap Properly
  12. Fold the sides in first, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press lightly to seal the edge. This technique keeps fillings snug and prevents leaks.
  13. Toast to Perfection
  14. Melt butter in a skillet on medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down. Toast 1–2 minutes each side until golden, crisp, and slightly puffed. The cheese will melt inside, locking in all the flavors.
  15. Rest & Slice
  16. Transfer to a plate and rest 1 minute. Slice diagonally it looks café-style and makes dipping easier.
  17. Drizzle Extra Sauce
  18. Serve hot with a small bowl of Big Mac sauce for dipping or drizzling.
