My favorite part is getting the tortillas extra golden in the skillet it reminds me of the drive-through grilled cheese I shared with my dad after soccer games and now my kids beg for the toasty wraps every time

Keep It Fresh and Delicious

Always use fresh lettuce for that signature crunch If you need to prep ahead store the lettuce and sauce separately and assemble wraps just before eating to keep everything crispy and vibrant Chilling the sauce even for just ten minutes gives it more depth and makes every bite pop

Genius Ingredient Swaps

Ground turkey or ground chicken work beautifully if you want a lighter version For lower carbs try wrapping in crisp iceberg lettuce Like a spicy kick Swap in pepper jack cheese or add a touch of hot sauce to the special sauce

Plating Like a Chef

Slice wraps on the diagonal and arrange on a platter Sprinkle with extra pickles or a shower of fresh lettuce for a deli style look Serve with a side of sauce in a dipping bowl The color contrast makes these wraps irresistible and party ready

The Story Behind the Bite

These wraps came about when my kids begged for burgers but I had no buns One skillet and a few pantry staples later Big Mac wraps were born and they instantly became a weeknight hero They remind me that great things can happen when you improvise a little in the kitchen
