Best ways to enjoy it
To serve your Big Mac Wraps, consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for that authentic burger touch. Pair your wraps with freshly made fries or a side salad for a complete meal.

Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. If you want to make these wraps ahead of time, you can prepare the filling and sauce separately, then assemble just before serving. For longer storage, consider freezing the fully assembled wraps in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. Just remember to thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating!
Helpful cooking tips
For the juiciest, most flavorful beef, don’t shy away from seasoning! A pinch of salt and pepper while cooking goes a long way. Another pro tip: let your cooked beef cool slightly before assembling your wraps; this prevents the tortillas from getting soggy. And if you’re short on time, using pre-cooked ground beef can save you even more time.
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative with your Big Mac Wraps! You can swap out the shredded cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a kick of spice. For a vegetarian option, why not use black beans or lentils as a protein source? Adding avocado or guacamole can also heighten the flavor profile, making it even more delicious.
