- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It
Follow these simple steps to assemble your Big Mac Wraps:
- Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, French dressing, pickles, vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside. - Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed. Add ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes. - Warm the Tortillas:
Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat them in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes, or microwave them for about 15 seconds each to soften. - Assemble the Wraps:
Spread a generous spoonful of Big Mac sauce on each tortilla. Top with cooked beef, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and onions. - Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap. Slice in half if desired. - Serve:
Enjoy warm, optionally with a side of fries or a crisp salad.
Pro Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Toast for Extra Crunch: After assembling, lightly toast the wraps on a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes per side for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make the wrap hard to roll—stick to moderate portions.
- Sauce First, Lettuce Last: Layer sauce on the bottom so it melts into the beef, with lettuce on top to stay crisp.
