It’s the perfect weeknight meal or lunch idea that’s quick, satisfying, and easy to customize.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Wraps:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio works best)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese

  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices

  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced

For the Special Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped pickles or pickle relish

  • 1 tsp white vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Make the Special Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together all the special sauce ingredients until well combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest.

  2. Cook the Beef:
    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned and fully cooked. Break it apart with a spatula into small crumbles. Drain excess grease if needed.

  3. Assemble the Wraps:
    Warm the tortillas slightly for easy folding. Spread a generous spoonful of special sauce on each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, cheese, cooked beef, diced onions, and pickle slices.

  4. Wrap and Toast (Optional):
    Fold in the sides and roll the tortillas into tight wraps. For extra crunch, lightly toast the wraps in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Meal Prep Friendly: Cook the beef and make the sauce in advance to assemble wraps in minutes during the week.

  • Add Heat: Spice it up with jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the beef or sauce.

  • Low-Carb Option: Serve the ingredients in lettuce cups instead of tortillas.

  • Cheese Swap: Use shredded American, cheddar, or even pepper jack for different flavor twists.

  • To Store: Store all components separately and assemble when ready to eat for the best texture.
