The homemade special sauce has become my favorite part of this recipe. It's so good, I often make extra to use on other sandwiches!

Make It Your Own

Add diced tomatoes or jalapenos for extra flavor, or use lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.

Yield: 4 Servings (4 wraps)

Dietary: ~

Ingredients

→ Special Sauce

01 ½ cup mayonnaise
02 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
03 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
04 1 teaspoon white vinegar
05 1 teaspoon paprika
06 ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
07 ¼ teaspoon onion powder

→ Wraps

08 1 pound lean ground beef
09 ½ cup finely chopped onion
10 Salt and pepper to taste
11 4 large flour tortillas
12 1 cup shredded lettuce
13 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 Dill pickle slices (optional)
15 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Step 01

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the dish.

Step 02

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

Step 03

Warm the flour tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable. Spread a generous layer of the special sauce on each tortilla. Top with a portion of the cooked ground beef, followed by shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, and dill pickle slices if desired.

Step 04

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, or wrap in foil for a convenient meal on the go.

Notes

  1. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the special sauce.
  2. Warm tortillas briefly to prevent tearing when rolling.
  3. Customize your wraps with additional toppings like sliced tomatoes or onions.
