- Then, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
How easy is that!
Ingredients for Big Mac Crunchwrap
The Burgers for the Big Mac Crunchwrap
- Start by placing a 2-ounce piece of ground beef on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment paper. Using a burger smasher, press the ground beef into a thin 4-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining ground beef for eight 2-ounce patties.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add two burger patties seasoned with Kosher salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties for three minutes. Then, flip them and cook the other side for two to three minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining beef patties.
Making the Big Mac Crunchwrap - Step-by-Step
- Start by layering the Big Mac Crunchwrap ingredients on a 10-inch flour tortilla: cheese, cooked beef patty, special sauce (Big Mac sauce), pickle slices, minced onion, lettuce, Tostitos bite-size rounds, cooked beef patty, special sauce, pickle slices, minced onion, lettuce, cheese, and 5 ½-inch flour tortilla.
- Tightly fold the edges of the 10-inch flour tortilla toward the center, creating pleats.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat; brush lightly with vegetable oil.
- Place the Big Mac Crunchwrap seam side down in the pan and brush the top with vegetable oil. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and toasted, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the Big Mac Crunchwrap to a cutting board, cut it in half, and serve. Repeat with the remaining Crunchwraps.

Recipe Tips and Variations
- Get the Perfect Crunch: Use sturdy tortilla chips inside to maintain the crunch. Avoid thin chips that may become soggy.
- Different Protein: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter taste.
- Balance the Sauce: Spread the special sauce evenly to avoid overly soggy or dry bites. Serve additional special sauce on the side for dipping.
- Cheese Swap: Use cheddar or a cheese blend instead of American cheese for a different flavor.
- Add Fries: Serve with crispy French fries for the full Big Mac experience.
