Instructions

Prepare the Beef Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form thin patties from the mixture for better browning and texture.
Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the patties for about 2 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. Once cooked, roughly chop the patties into bite-sized pieces to use in the wraps.
Create the Beef Filling: Alternatively, crumble the beef directly into a skillet, season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, add Worcestershire sauce and optional chopped onions, then cook until browned with some crispy edges. Set aside once done.
Make the Special Sauce: In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sweet pickle relish, optional pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Taste and adjust for tanginess or sweetness as preferred.
Warm the Wraps: Heat each wrap briefly in the microwave or on a dry pan to make them pliable and warm.
Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of special sauce on each warm wrap, then add the chopped beef, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, pickles, and optional onions evenly.
Wrap it Up: Roll each filled wrap like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you go.
Optional Toasting: For added crunch and golden color, toast each wrap in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side before serving.

Notes

Crispy Smashed Patties Version: For a more authentic burger texture and flavor, form thin smashed patties and sear them in a hot pan before chopping for the wrap filling.
Make it Spicy: Add dashes of hot sauce to the beef or stir sriracha into the special sauce for a spicy kick.
Low-Carb Option: Use large lettuce leaves instead of wraps to create Big Mac lettuce wraps.
Add Charred Flavor: Grill the assembled wraps on a grill pan for 1-2 minutes per side to get delicious grill marks and smoky taste.
Storage Tips: Store leftover beef filling and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Wraps are best assembled fresh but can be reheated wrapped in a skillet if needed.
Make-Ahead: Beef and sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Reheat beef before assembling; keep sauce sealed in the fridge. Cooked beef can also be frozen up to 3 months.
