Big Mac Lettuce Wraps are the perfect low carb solution for this classic recipe! It's also great because if you don't feel like lettuce wraps, you can use the same ingredients in a wrap or thrown on a bun! Not to mention, the BIG MAC SAUCE is to die for and good on everything! This meal is versatile, easy, and most importantly, majorly delicious!

Using the BIG MAC SAUCE recipe I shared with you last week, it's fairly straight forward how to make these.

How to make Big Mac Lettuce Wraps:

**scroll all the way down for full ingredient list and printable directions**

  • Make the big mac sauce and place it in the fridge to meld while cooking everything else. The recipe can be found HERE.
  • Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a medium/large skillet until it's totally cooked through.
    • I prefer a high sided skillet so the grease doesn't splash out, like this one. 
  • While the ground beef is cooking, prep the vegetables.
    • You will need Bibb or romaine lettuce leaves for the wraps. Separate those and then make sure to rinse them to wash any dirt away.
    • Chopped onions, chopped dill pickles, and shredded American or cheddar cheese.
  • Strain any fat away from the cooked beef, then setup everything in an assembly line.
  • Let everyone make their own big mac lettuce wraps by adding beef, onions, pickles, cheese, and delicious Big Mac Sauce.

    I didn't see the cheese that was used noted in your list of ingredients. Could you please advise? Thank you!

      Good catch! Just added to the ingredient list, but should be 1/3-1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese!

    This would be perfect BUT you forgot to add sesame seeds, as the 'sesame seed bun' is key aspect to the big mac.
