• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup diced pickles

How to Make the Best Big Mac Crunchwrap

Let’s break this down step-by-step so you can confidently create your own Big Mac Crunchwrap masterpiece:

Prepare the beef patties

Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Divide it into four equal portions and shape each into a thin, round patty.

Cook the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Lay out your tortilla base

Place a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. In the center, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing. Add one cooked beef patty on top.

Layer the toppings

On top of the patty, add a slice of American cheese, a small handful of shredded lettuce, some diced pickles, and a sprinkle of onions.

Place a tostada shell (or small corn tortilla) over the toppings to create a sturdy base for folding.

Fold the Crunchwrap

Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the tostada shell, working your way around to create pleats.

Keep folding until the tortilla completely wraps the filling. If needed, place a small piece of an extra tortilla in the center to seal any gaps.

Cook the Crunchwrap

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little vegetable oil and place the folded side of the Crunchwrap face down in the skillet.

Cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining Crunchwraps.

Serve and enjoy

Cut the Crunchwrap in half for easy serving, and enjoy the melty, crunchy goodness!

How to Serve Your Big Mac Crunchwrap

This Big Mac Crunchwrap is a meal in itself, but you can make it extra special with a few sides:

• Serve with a side of crispy fries or sweet potato wedges.
• Pair with a refreshing green salad or coleslaw for balance.
• Offer extra pickles, dipping sauces, or even a milkshake for the full diner experience.

Storing and Enjoying Leftovers

If you have leftovers (which rarely happens in my house!), here’s how to store them:

• Wrap each Crunchwrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the Crunchwrap in a skillet over low heat to re-crisp the tortilla. Alternatively, use an air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350°F. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the tortilla soggy.

Top Tips for Customizing Your Big Mac Crunchwrap

Switch up the protein: Try ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based patties for a twist.
Add extra crunch: Layer in crispy Beefbacon, fried onions, or jalapeños for more texture and flavor.
Spice it up: Drizzle sriracha or spicy mayo over the filling for a kick.
Make it mini: Use smaller tortillas to create Crunchwrap sliders, perfect for parties or appetizers.

Your Questions About Big Mac Crunchwrap Answered

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, but larger flour tortillas work best for folding and sealing. Smaller tortillas may not fully enclose the filling.

What’s the best way to make the sauce?

If you don’t have Thousand Island dressing, mix mayo, ketchup, a splash of vinegar, and a pinch of sugar to mimic Big Mac sauce.

Can I bake the Crunchwrap instead of frying it?

While frying gives the best crisp, you can bake Crunchwraps at 400°F for about 10 minutes. Place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

How can I make this recipe healthier?

Use lean ground beef, whole wheat tortillas, and light dressing to reduce calories. You can also load up on extra veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers.
