Ingredients:
For the Big Mac Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef (you can also use turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup Big Mac special sauce (recipe below, or use store-bought)
- 4 large flour tortillas (one for the base and others for layering)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese slices, as in the Big Mac)
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- Pickles, sliced (adjust according to preference)
- Vegetable oil, for grilling
For the Special Sauce (Optional):
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Special Sauce:
If you’re making your own Big Mac special sauce, simply mix together mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of paprika in a bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside. This sauce is what gives the Big Mac its signature creamy, tangy flavor, so don’t skip it!
2. Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions (or add homemade seasoning if you prefer), then stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the Big Mac special sauce. Mix well and set aside.
3. Assemble the Crunchwrap:
Place one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a generous layer of the seasoned beef mixture in the center of the tortilla. Then, layer on the shredded lettuce, cheese, diced onions, and pickles. Drizzle with more of the special sauce.
Next, take a smaller tortilla (about the size of a soft taco or a flour tortilla that’s been cut down to fit), and place it directly on top of the filling. Gently fold the edges of the larger tortilla over the top of the smaller one, creating pleats as you fold. The goal is to fold it into a tight, round wrap that’s completely sealed.
4. Grill the Crunchwrap:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Place the assembled Crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the wrap crisps up. You should see a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
Flip the Crunchwrap carefully and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat to make sure the wrap doesn’t burn but crisps up perfectly. Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the Crunchwrap from the pan.
