Ingredients (Makes 4 Servings)

  • 1 lb (450 g) 96% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 medium low-carb or low-calorie tortillas (1–2 SmartPoints each, 50–70 calories per wrap)
  • 1/2 cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced or chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (white or red)

For the Big Mac Sauce (WW-Friendly Version):

  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise or light mayo
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment Needed

  • Large nonstick skillet or sauté pan
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Serving plates or containers for meal prep

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the WW Big Mac Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the fat-free mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, sugar-free ketchup, pickle relish, yellow mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Refrigerate the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step enhances the authentic “Big Mac” taste.

Step 2: Brown the Lean Ground Beef

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef. Use a spatula to break the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.

Drain any excess moisture or fat (though it should be minimal with 96% lean beef). Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3: Prep the Wrap Ingredients

While the beef is cooking, shred the lettuce, chop the onions and pickles, and get your tortillas ready. For best results, warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave so they’re easier to fold.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the Big Mac sauce in the center. Add 1/4 of the cooked ground beef, then top with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, and diced onions.

Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold the sides inward, and roll tightly to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5: Optional: Toast the Wraps

For a more satisfying texture, place the wraps seam-side down in a dry nonstick skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy. This adds structure and enhances flavor without any added SmartPoints.

Step 6: Serve or Store

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or a container for meal prep. These wraps are excellent hot or cold and store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Why This Recipe Works for WW

Traditional Big Macs are delicious but loaded with SmartPoints due to high-fat meat, cheese, sauces, and white buns. This version cuts back the points dramatically using:

  • 96% lean ground beef for high protein and low fat
  • Fat-free mayo and Greek yogurt for creamy sauce without excess calories
  • Low-carb tortillas to reduce simple carbs
  • Portion control for cheese and sauce to maintain flavor without overdoing fat

These swaps allow you to indulge in your cravings without derailing your progress. It’s proof that you can eat the foods you love—just smarter!

Meal Prep & Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Wraps stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container. Keep lettuce separate if prepping for multiple days to prevent wilting.
  • Freezer: You can freeze the cooked beef portion but not the assembled wrap (lettuce and dairy don’t freeze well).
  • Reheat: If not toasted, microwave for 30–45 seconds. If toasted, reheat in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.

Time-Saving Tips

  • Use pre-shredded lettuce or bagged coleslaw mix.
  • Make a double batch of the sauce and keep it in the fridge for sandwiches, burgers, or dipping.
  • Brown beef in advance and store in the fridge or freezer for quick wrap assembly.

Flavor Variations

  1. Chicken Version: Use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef for a poultry alternative.
  2. Veggie Version: Use meatless crumbles or lentils for a vegetarian Big Mac wrap.
  3. Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or jalapeños to the sauce for heat.
  4. Cheeseburger Bowl: Skip the wrap and turn this into a low-carb burger bowl with all toppings over lettuce.

Common Questions

Can I use a regular tortilla?
Yes, but be mindful of the SmartPoints—regular flour tortillas may add 4–6 points each. Opt for low-carb, high-fiber ones if possible.

What’s the best cheese to use?
Fat-free or reduced-fat cheddar works best to keep SmartPoints low. Use a sharp cheese for stronger flavor with less quantity.

Is the sauce optional?
Technically yes, but it’s what makes this a Big Mac wrap. It’s creamy, tangy, and low in SmartPoints when made as directed.
