They are fast, filling, and easy to customize. You get the familiar combination of beef, cheese, pickles, and tangy sauce without needing a traditional burger bun.
Why You Will Love This Recipe
This recipe comes together in about 25 minutes and uses simple ingredients that are easy to find. The beef can be cooked ahead, the sauce can be mixed in advance, and the wraps can be assembled whenever you are ready to eat.
They are also great for meal prep, quick family dinners, or an easy low-carb lunch. Just keep the lettuce and sauce separate until serving so the wraps stay fresh.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 4 low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices or chopped pickles
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Big Mac-Style Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Ingredient Notes
Ground beef: An 85/15 or 90/10 blend works well. Drain excess grease after cooking so the wraps do not become soggy.
Low-carb tortillas: Carb counts vary significantly by brand, so check the nutrition label if you are tracking net carbohydrates closely.
Pickles: Dill pickles give the wraps their familiar tangy burger flavor. Make sure to drain them well before adding them to the wraps.
Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds plenty of flavor, but American-style cheese, Monterey Jack, or a cheese blend can also be used.
How to Make Keto Big Mac Wraps
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and break it into small crumbles.
- Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Cook for about six to eight minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through to 160°F.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Reduce the heat to low and keep the beef warm.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave so they are flexible.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
- Add a layer of shredded lettuce to each tortilla.
- Top with the warm ground beef.
- Add shredded cheese, diced onion, and pickles.
- Drizzle generously with the prepared sauce.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into wraps.
- Serve immediately.
How to Keep the Wraps from Getting Soggy
Drain the cooked beef well before assembling. Excess grease can quickly soften a tortilla.
Pat the pickles dry if they are especially wet, and avoid adding too much sauce directly to the tortilla.
If you are meal prepping, keep the sauce and lettuce in separate containers and assemble the wraps just before eating.
Optional Crispy Skillet Finish
For a warm, crispy wrap, place the assembled wrap seam-side down in a dry nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook for one to two minutes per side, just until the tortilla becomes lightly golden.
If you want the lettuce to remain very crisp, leave it out while heating the wrap and add it afterward.
Easy Variations
For bacon cheeseburger wraps, add cooked crumbled bacon to the filling.
For spicy wraps, mix hot sauce or diced jalapeños into the burger sauce.
For extra cheese, place a slice of cheese directly over the warm beef and let it melt before assembling.
Ground turkey can replace the beef if you prefer a leaner variation. Add a little olive oil to the skillet if necessary.
For a tortilla-free version, serve all of the ingredients in a bowl over shredded lettuce for a Big Mac-inspired salad.
How to Make Them More Filling
Add avocado slices, extra ground beef, or a little more cheese for a richer wrap.
You can also serve the wraps with cauliflower rice, roasted broccoli, a side salad, cucumber slices, or zucchini fries.
What to Serve with Keto Big Mac Wraps
For a simple low-carb meal, pair them with a green salad, coleslaw made without added sugar, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower tots.
Pickle spears, cucumber salad, air-fried zucchini, or roasted Brussels sprouts also work well.
If carbohydrate intake is not a concern for everyone at the table, regular fries or potato wedges can be served alongside the wraps.
Meal Prep Tips
The cooked beef can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three to four days.
The sauce can also be prepared several days ahead and stored separately in the refrigerator.
Chop the onions and pickles ahead, but keep the lettuce dry and refrigerated until serving.
Warm the beef before assembling for the best texture.
Storage and Reheating
Fully assembled wraps are best eaten fresh because the lettuce and sauce can soften the tortilla during storage.
For leftovers, store the cooked beef separately from the vegetables, tortillas, and sauce.
Reheat the beef in a skillet over medium-low heat or in the microwave until steaming hot, then build fresh wraps.
Are These Really Keto?
They can fit a low-carb or ketogenic eating pattern when prepared with an appropriate tortilla and sauce, but the exact carbohydrate content varies significantly by brand.
Low-carb tortillas, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, and pickles can all contain different amounts of carbohydrates. If you track net carbs closely, calculate the recipe using your exact product labels.
