Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend works best
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
For the Special Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon relish sweet pickle
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For Assembly
  • 2 large flour tortillas or lettuce leaves for low-carb
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 2 slices tomato optional but recommended

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Small bowl for mixing special sauce
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Paper towels
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, vinegar, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix gently until seasonings are incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully browned and most liquid evaporates.
  4. Once beef is cooked through, carefully tilt skillet and spoon off excess grease, leaving a small amount for flavor.
  5. Warm the tortillas by placing directly over a gas flame for about 10 seconds per side or wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20 seconds.
  6. Dice onion, pickles, and lettuce into bite-sized pieces; slice tomato if using.
  7. Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of special sauce down the center. Layer half the cooked beef, 2 slices cheese, half the lettuce, half the onion, half the pickles, and tomato slices if desired.
  8. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in sides tightly, and roll away from you into a secure wrap. Wrap in foil or parchment paper. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Notes

Serve wraps warm and fresh. For extra secure wraps, place seam-side down on a hot skillet for 30 seconds to seal. Store unassembled components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
