## 5. How to Make Big Mac Wraps: A Step-by-Step Guide
Making **Big Mac Wraps** at home is easy, and you’ll have your wrap ready in less than 30 minutes. Follow these simple steps:
### **Step 1: Prepare the Special Sauce**
If you’re making homemade special sauce, combine the following ingredients in a small bowl:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tbsp mustard
– 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
– 1 tbsp white vinegar
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
Stir the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and set the sauce aside.
### **Step 2: Cook the Beef**
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and season with salt and pepper. Set the cooked beef aside.
### **Step 3: Toast the Tortillas**
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Toasting them lightly will add a bit of crunch to the wrap, but be careful not to overdo it.
### **Step 4: Assemble the Wraps**
On each tortilla, spread a generous amount of the special sauce. Add a layer of cooked ground beef, followed by a slice of cheese, some lettuce, pickles, and onions. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, creating a neat wrap.
### **Step 5: Serve**
Cut the wrap in half if desired, and serve with a side of fries, a salad, or any other side of your choice.
