Cheddar Cheese: Opt for shredded cheddar for an easy melt and rich flavor in every bite. For more inspiration, check out this Carne Asada Cheese Fries recipe.
Pickles: Slice crunchy dill pickles add a zesty kick; you can chop them finely or leave them whole.

Mayonnaise: A creamy base for our special sauce; use full-fat mayonnaise for richer flavor.
Ketchup: Just the right amount adds sweetness and balances out the flavors perfectly.
Dijon Mustard: This gives our sauce that tangy twist; don’t be shy with it!
Garlic Powder: A sprinkle enhances the overall flavor profile without overpowering other ingredients.
Sweet Relish: A touch of sweetness brings everything together and mimics that classic Big Mac taste.

Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary; you want to keep it juicy but not swimming in grease.
Add Flavor to Your Beef: Sprinkle salt and pepper over cooked beef while it’s still in the skillet. Mix well to ensure every bite packs flavor.
Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start layering with cooked beef, shredded lettuce, pickles, cheese, and drizzle generously with special sauce.
Wrap It Up!: Fold in the sides of each tortilla first then roll tightly from bottom to top. Ensure everything stays inside as you roll—this is where the magic happens!
Sear Your Wraps (Optional): For an extra crispy exterior, place wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a hot skillet after assembling. Cook until golden brown on all sides.

Content
The secret to a perfect sauce is to let it chill for at least an hour. This enhances the flavors wonderfully. I once rushed this step, and trust me, it was blandsville.
Use fresh ingredients for the best texture and taste. The crunch of fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes makes all the difference. My buddy once used wilted lettuce, and we almost called a food rescue.
Don’t overstuff the wrap; keep it manageable. A too-full wrap is like my ex, messy and hard to handle. Less is more when it comes to big flavors!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by prepping your ingredients: chop veggies, grill patties, and make the special sauce. This order ensures efficiency and allows each flavor to shine through.
Add Your Touch
