Description
A healthier, meal-prep friendly version of the classic Big Mac, featuring seasoned ground beef, crisp vegetables, and homemade sauce wrapped in a tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1 cup dill pickle chips, sliced
- 6 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains, about 6-7 minutes.
- Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Season the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- While the beef cooks, finely dice the yellow onion, shred the lettuce, and slice the pickles.
- Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds on each side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 10 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon a generous layer of beef down the center.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickle slices, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Drizzle with the Big Mac sauce.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to secure.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Wrap each tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place in airtight containers for meal prep.
Notes
For best texture, store the sauce in a separate small container if you prefer a crunchier wrap. Ensure the beef is cooled before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. For a lighter version, use lean ground turkey or chicken. For a vegetarian option, substitute beef with crumbled firm tofu.
