Imagine everything you love about a Big Mac, wrapped up in a warm, golden tortilla. This Easy Big Mac Wrap is a crave-worthy mashup that delivers bold flavor in every bite. Perfectly seasoned beef, creamy melted cheese, tangy pickles, crisp lettuce, and sharp onions come together in a handheld meal that’s ready in minutes.
Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or need a quick weekday lunch, this wrap satisfies the fast food itch without the drive-thru. It’s also a great option for meal prep or casual gatherings, and can easily be customized to fit your preferences. Think Big Mac meets burrito — but homemade and even better.
What Kind of Tortilla Should I Use?
The best tortilla for this wrap is a large, soft flour tortilla. It should be pliable enough to fold without cracking, but thick enough to hold the juicy filling without falling apart. Burrito-size tortillas work best so you can pack in all those delicious layers. You can also lightly toast it in a skillet for a golden finish and extra durability.


Ingredients for the Easy Big Mac Wrap
Ground Beef: The heart of the wrap. Choose lean ground beef for less grease and all the savory flavor.
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of paprika bring out the burger essence in every bite.
American Cheese Slices: This ooey-gooey cheese melt adds that classic Big Mac richness.
Lettuce: Use shredded iceberg or chopped romaine for a refreshing crunch.
Pickles: Dill pickle chips are a must—they bring the signature tang and bite.
Red Onion: Thinly sliced red onions add sharpness and balance the richness of the beef and cheese.
Flour Tortillas: Burrito-size tortillas are perfect for wrapping and holding all the fillings.
Big Mac Sauce (or Thousand Island Dressing): The final touch that makes it taste like the real deal.
How To Make the Easy Big Mac Wrap
Step 1: Brown and Season the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned, then drain any excess fat. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to infuse flavor into every bite.
Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas
Warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side or microwave them for 15 seconds. This makes them soft and easier to roll.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Lay a tortilla flat and start layering: a slice of American cheese (let it melt slightly on the warm tortilla), a generous scoop of seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, pickle chips, thin red onion slices, and a hearty drizzle of Big Mac sauce.
Step 4: Roll It Up
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito. For extra texture and flavor, place the wrap seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes to toast it until golden.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Cut the wrap in half, serve warm, and watch it disappear!
Serving and Storing Your Easy Big Mac Wrap
Serve these wraps warm right off the skillet for the best flavor and texture. They pair great with crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a simple salad. For dipping, set aside extra Big Mac sauce or some ketchup on the side.
Storing leftovers? Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispiness. Avoid microwaving too long to keep the lettuce from wilting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes! Ground turkey is a great lighter alternative. Just adjust seasoning to enhance the flavor since turkey is milder than beef.
What’s the best cheese substitute?
If you’re not a fan of American cheese, try cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend for a more gourmet twist.
Is there a homemade Big Mac sauce?
You can mix mayo, ketchup, relish, a splash of vinegar, and a pinch of paprika to make your own version of the iconic sauce.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Absolutely. Cook the beef and prep the veggies ahead. Store them separately and assemble when ready to eat for the freshest texture.
How can I make it spicier?
Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for some heat.
Are these freezer-friendly?
Wraps with fresh lettuce and pickles don’t freeze well, but you can freeze the cooked beef mixture and tortillas separately.
