Ingredients You’ll Need
You probably already have everything for these Big Mac Wraps in your kitchen. Each ingredient is simple, but together they layer up to mimic the iconic Big Mac taste and add the perfect crunch, creaminess, and balance in every bite.
- Frozen Beef Burger Patties: Go for quality patties—91/9 lean beef works beautifully, but use your favorite for best flavor.
- Burger Seasoning: Choose a blend you love (like steak or caramelized onion seasoning), or simply use salt and pepper for a classic punch.
- Thin-cut Cheddar Cheese: Melty cheddar brings just the right gooeyness and a rich, savory note.
- Light Mayonnaise: The base of your Big Mac sauce—light mayo keeps it creamy but less heavy.
- Ketchup: For that classic, sweet-tangy flavor in the sauce.
- Dill Pickles & Pickle Juice: Chopped pickles and a hint of pickle juice give the sauce its signature tang (plus classic pickle rounds bring crunch to every bite).
- Soft Taco Flour Tortillas: These wraps hold everything together; choose your favorite brand or swap in whole wheat or low-carb versions.
- White Onion: Finely chopped for sharpness and extra crunch, just like the original burger.
- Shredded Iceberg Lettuce: Adds refreshing crispness and classic burger flavor.
Variations
This Big Mac Wrap is endlessly adaptable, so don’t be afraid to mix things up! Whether you’re adjusting for allergies, counting macros, or just craving a twist, here are a few fun ways to make it your own:
- Lettuce Wrap Version: Skip the tortilla for crunchy lettuce leaves for a low-carb, gluten-free option that’s still so satisfying.
- Turkey, Chicken, or Veggie Burger: Swap the beef patty for ground turkey, chicken, or even a black bean burger to suit your dietary needs.
- Add Extra Veggies: Slice on some vine-ripened tomatoes, shredded carrots, or even grilled mushrooms for a boost of color and flavor.
- Spicy Big Mac Wrap: Amp up the heat with jalapeños, or stir a little sriracha into your Big Mac sauce!
How to Make Big Mac Wrap
Step 1: Season and Cook Your Burgers
Generously sprinkle each side of your frozen burger patties with seasoning. Lay them in your air fryer basket (working in batches if needed), and cook at 380°F for 8 minutes, flipping halfway. This delivers juicy, flavorful burgers every time (about medium to medium-well).
Step 2: Melt Cheese on the Patties
Once the burgers are almost cooked through, add a slice of cheddar to each and air fry for another minute. That quick melt promises gooey cheese in every single bite of your Big Mac Wrap.
Step 3: Mix Up the Big Mac Sauce
While the burgers cook, whip up your sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, finely chopped dill pickles, and a dash of pickle juice in a small bowl. Give it a good stir—this tangy, crunchy sauce is the secret to that true Big Mac flavor!
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
Microwave your tortillas for 15–20 seconds to make them soft and pliable—this will make wrapping a breeze and give the Big Mac Wrap that yummy, fresh-from-the-grill feel!
Step 5: Assemble and Roll!
Layer shredded lettuce on each tortilla, then halve a cheesy burger and arrange it lengthwise. Top with a generous dollop of Big Mac sauce, a sprinkle of white onion, some pickle rounds, then wrap it all up tight. Ready to devour!
Pro Tips for Making Big Mac Wrap
- Air Fryer Timing Matters: For juicy burgers, keep an eye on cook times—pull them a minute early if you like them on the medium side, or add a minute for well-done patties.
- Ultimate Sauce Crunch: Add chopped pickles right into your sauce for pops of brightness, or double the pickles on top if you’re a superfan.
- Perfect Wrap Technique: Warming the tortillas until they’re just soft helps prevent tearing and makes rolling your Big Mac Wraps so much easier.
- Customization Shortcut: Use whatever frozen burger you have—chicken, veggie, or classic beef—and simply adjust your favorite toppings to match your mood.
How to Serve Big Mac Wrap
Garnishes
For that true diner-style flair, sprinkle each Big Mac Wrap with extra chopped dill pickles, a touch more of finely diced onions, or a dash of sesame seeds on top. A handful of shredded iceberg on the side adds crunch and freshness too!
Side Dishes
These wraps are total stars on their own, but they pair perfectly with classic oven-baked fries, air fryer sweet potato chips, or a light, crispy coleslaw for that summer picnic feeling. A side of extra Big Mac sauce for dipping? Trust me, it’s a must.
Creative Ways to Present
Slice your Big Mac Wrap diagonally and stack for a fun, party-ready platter, or wrap each in parchment and tie with twine for a grab-and-go lunch. Layer in a bento box with veggie sticks and fruit for an Instagram-worthy meal-prep moment!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftovers (lucky you!), simply wrap any cooled Big Mac Wraps tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days, though I recommend keeping the sauce, veggies, and wraps separate for the freshest results.
Freezing
While freezing fully assembled wraps isn’t ideal (the veggies and sauce can become soggy), the cooked burgers themselves freeze beautifully—just thaw and reheat, then assemble fresh Big Mac Wraps in minutes!
Reheating
For best results, gently reheat the burger patties in the microwave or air fryer, then assemble your wrap with fresh lettuce and sauce. If needed, microwave the whole wrap (without lettuce) just until warm, then finish with toppings.
FAQs
-
Can I make Big Mac Wraps without an air fryer?
Absolutely! Just grill, pan-fry, or even bake your burger patties until cooked to your liking. The wrap will still have that irresistible, classic Big Mac flavor—no fancy appliances necessary.
-
What’s the best way to keep my Big Mac Wrap from getting soggy?
Keep wet ingredients (like your sauce or pickles) away from the tortilla until just before serving. Warm the wrap well, and enjoy your Big Mac Wrap fresh for maximum crunch and flavor!
-
Can I prep Big Mac Wraps ahead for meal prep?
Definitely! Make the burgers and sauce in advance, then store each part separately in the fridge. When craving strikes, just heat, assemble, and roll for a meal-prep win.
-
Do I have to use cheddar? Can I swap the cheese?
Cheddar delivers classic flavor, but swaps like American, Swiss, or even pepper jack work just as well. Use what you love for a Big Mac Wrap that’s totally your style.
