Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties
Start by cooking the beef patties. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil or butter. Season the patties with salt and pepper, then cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and fully cooked through. Once cooked, place the cheese slices on top of each patty and let it melt for a minute. This creates the perfect cheesy, juicy base for your wrap!
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
While the patties are cooking, warm your tortillas. You can do this in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Warming them will make them more pliable and easier to wrap.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Once your tortillas are warmed and the patties are cooked, it’s time to assemble the Big Mac Wraps! Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Start by spreading a generous spoonful of Big Mac sauce (or your homemade sauce) down the center of the tortilla. Then, place a cheesy beef patty on top of the sauce.
Next, layer on the shredded lettuce, pickles, and diced onions (if using). Add any additional ingredients you might like, such as tomato slices or extra cheese.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
Once all your ingredients are in place, carefully fold the sides of the tortilla in and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. You can either serve it as is or give it a quick sear in the pan for 1-2 minutes to get the tortilla crispy and golden.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the wrap in half to make it easier to eat, and enjoy your Big Mac Wrap with a side of fries, a salad, or a simple pickle! The result is a delicious, portable twist on the classic burger that will satisfy all your cravings.
Tips for Perfect Big Mac Wraps
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the beef patties and sauce ahead of time, which makes assembling the wraps a breeze when you’re ready to eat.
- Customize the Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings. Some people love adding bacon, tomatoes, or even sautéed mushrooms for a gourmet touch.
- Healthier Version: To make the wraps lighter, consider using lean ground turkey or chicken for the patties. You can also swap out the regular flour tortillas for whole wheat or low-carb options, and use a lighter version of the Big Mac sauce.
- Veggie Version: If you want to make a vegetarian Big Mac Wrap, try using a veggie burger patty or a plant-based patty like Beyond Meat for a meat-free version that still delivers on flavor.
