Homemade Big Mac Tortilla Recipe

30-minute meals clean eating family friendly fast food copycat ground beef recipes healthy dinner recipes high protein meals serves 4

What if you could have your favorite fast food burger… without the grease, guilt, or drive-thru wait?

That’s exactly what I was craving when I made this: a Big Mac-inspired tortilla wrap that’s packed with protein, full of flavor, and secretly healthy. It tastes like the real deal — melty cheese, tangy sauce, savory beef — but it's all wrapped up in a soft tortilla with clean, simple ingredients I feel good serving to my family.

This has become a weeknight favorite in our house — especially when I want that nostalgic fast food flavor but still want to stick to my goals. It’s quick, easy to prep ahead, and totally customizable!

 

Ingredients:

For the Wraps:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (I use 93% lean)

  • 4 large whole wheat or low carb tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • ½ cup diced pickles

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup diced red onion (optional)

  • Olive oil or avocado oil spray for pan

For the "Big Mac" Sauce:

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil mayo

  • 1 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tsp pickle juice

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • Pinch of salt

 

Instructions:

  1. Make the sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust — if you like it tangier, add more pickle juice or mustard. Set aside or chill until ready to use.

  2. Cook the beef
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

  3. Assemble your wrap
    Lay a tortilla flat and layer with:

    • 2–3 tablespoons of sauce

    • Ground beef (about ¼ of the mixture)

    • Shredded cheese

    • Pickles

    • Lettuce

    • Onion if using

  4. Fold & toast
    Fold the tortilla like a burrito or wrap. Lightly spray a skillet with oil and toast the wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

  5. Slice & serve
    Slice in half and serve warm! I like pairing it with air-fried sweet potato wedges or a quick side salad.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it lighter: Swap beef for ground turkey or use half beef, half cauliflower rice for volume.

  • Meal prep: Cook the beef and sauce ahead for 5-minute wraps during the week.

  • Gluten-free? Use a GF tortilla or lettuce wrap instead!

  • Add crunch: A few chopped dill pickles right inside the wrap give that signature Big Mac texture.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Big Mac Tortilla Recipe hits all the right notes — warm, savory, cheesy, tangy, crunchy — without ever feeling heavy. It’s the kind of recipe that makes healthy eating fun again. If you’re looking for a quick, family-friendly dinner that satisfies those fast food cravings without derailing your goals, this wrap is going to be your new go-to.
