Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Special Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp finely chopped dill pickles
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard

For the Wraps:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• ¼ cup finely chopped onions (optional)
• ¼ cup diced pickles (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, and yellow mustard. Stir well until the ingredients are fully blended. Set aside.
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on each tortilla. Then, evenly distribute the cooked beef over the tortillas.
4. Add Cheese: Place one slice of American cheese on top of the beef. Let it melt slightly from the heat of the meat.
5. Add Veggies: Top with shredded lettuce, chopped onions, and diced pickles if desired.
6. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
