how to make Homemade Big Mac Wraps

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier texture)
8 large flour tortillas (Sturdy enough to hold everything)
2 cups shredded lettuce (Pat dry to avoid sogginess)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (Adds melty, savory goodness)
0.5 cup chopped onions (White or yellow work best)
0.5 cup dill pickles (Chopped into small chunks)
Salt and pepper (To season the beef)
0.5 cup mayonnaise (Full-fat for best flavor)
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish (Adds classic Big Mac sweetness)
1 tbsp yellow mustard (For that signature tang)
1 tsp white vinegar (Balances out the sauce)
1 tsp garlic powder (Adds depth)
1 tsp onion powder (Essential for that familiar flavor)
1 tsp paprika (For color and warmth)

Directions:

Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Chill while you prepare the rest.
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until there is no pink left, then drain the excess fat.
Warm the Tortillas: Microwave the tortillas between damp paper towels for 30 seconds or briefly toast them in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the Wraps: Spread 2 tablespoons of Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Add a scoop of cooked ground beef, along with lettuce, onions, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll and Toast: Roll each wrap tightly. Place seam-side down in a dry skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap diagonally and serve with extra Big Mac sauce on the side.
