👩🍳 Step 1: Make the Big Mac Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine:
- Mayonnaise
- Sugar-free ketchup
- Mustard
- Pickle relish
- Vinegar
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Whisk until smooth.
Rest the Sauce
Place in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
Why?
The flavors blend together and taste closer to the restaurant-style sauce.
👩🍳 Step 2: Cook the Beef
Season
Place ground beef in a bowl and mix with:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Brown the Beef
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add beef and break it apart with a spatula.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes until browned.
Drain excess grease if desired.
Add Flavor
Stir in:
- Yellow mustard
- Worcestershire sauce
Cook for another 1–2 minutes.
The beef should be juicy and well-seasoned.
👩🍳 Step 3: Prepare the Wrap Components
Lettuce Wraps
Carefully separate large lettuce leaves.
Wash and dry thoroughly.
Tip: Dry lettuce prevents watery wraps.
Prepare Toppings
- Dice onion finely.
- Slice pickles thinly.
- Shred lettuce.
- Shred cheese if not already shredded.
👩🍳 Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a large lettuce leaf on a plate.
Add:
- A spoonful of seasoned beef
- Shredded cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced onion
- Pickle slices
- A generous drizzle of Big Mac sauce
Fold
- Fold the sides inward.
- Roll tightly like a burrito.
If needed, secure with a toothpick.
👩🍳 Step 5: Optional Grilled Version
For a warmer wrap:
- Assemble using a low-carb tortilla instead of lettuce.
- Lightly spray a skillet with oil.
- Grill each side for 1–2 minutes.
This creates a crispy exterior while remaining keto-friendly.
