  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Season the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. While the beef cooks, finely dice the yellow onion, shred the lettuce, and slice the pickles.
  6. 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.
  7. Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon a generous layer of beef down the center.
  8. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onions, pickle slices, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
  9. Drizzle with the Big Mac sauce.
  10. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to secure.
  11. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  12. 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.
