Experience the nostalgic flavors of a Big Mac in a convenient and delicious wrap form with these Big Mac Wrap Sloppy Joes! Packed with seasoned ground beef, tangy special sauce, crisp lettuce, and melty cheese, these sloppy joes are a fun twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• Shredded lettuce
• Sliced American cheese

Directions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to make the special sauce.
4. Pour the special sauce over the cooked ground beef mixture in the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Layer shredded lettuce, a scoop of the sloppy joe mixture, and a slice of American cheese on one side of the tortilla.
6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly, creating a wrap.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and sloppy joe mixture.
8. Optional: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the wraps on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
9. Serve the Big Mac Wrap Sloppy Joes immediately and enjoy!

Variations:

• Add diced tomatoes or pickles to the wrap for extra crunch and flavor.
• Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lighter option.
• Make it spicy by adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

Serving Tips:

• Serve the Big Mac Wrap Sloppy Joes with a side of crispy fries or potato chips for a classic fast-food experience.
• Pair with a crisp, refreshing salad for a lighter meal option.

Storage Tips:

• Store any leftover sloppy joe mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before using in wraps.
• Assemble wraps just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Health Benefits and Nutritional Information:

• While this dish is indulgent, you can make it slightly healthier by using lean ground beef or turkey and opting for whole wheat tortillas. Adding extra veggies like lettuce and tomatoes also boosts its nutritional value.

FAQs:

• Can I make these wraps ahead of time? While it’s best to assemble the wraps just before serving, you can prepare the sloppy joe mixture in advance and reheat it when ready to use.
• Can I use store-bought sloppy joe sauce instead of making my own? Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite store-bought sauce to save time.

Conclusion:

These Big Mac Wrap Sloppy Joes are a fun and flavorful twist on the beloved fast-food favorite. With their hearty beef filling, tangy special sauce, and melty cheese, they’re sure to satisfy your cravings and become a new family favorite!
