TIPS ON MAKING 5 MINUTE BIG MAC WRAPS
The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks!
Here are some tips for making Big Mac–style wraps that taste like the burger but keep things lighter and easier to prepare:
🥩 Protein Sparing
-
Use lean ground beef (80/20 if you want a juicier flavor, or 95/5 for leaner wraps).
-
Season simply with salt, pepper, onion powder, and a touch of garlic powder.
-
Cook in a skillet instead of an Instant Pot and break into small crumbles for easy wrapping.
- Omit the cheese for protein sparing macros.
🥬 Wrap Choice
-
Large lettuce leaves (like romaine, iceberg, or butter lettuce) for a low-carb option.
-
Make my protein sparing wraps and store in the freezer for easy meals if you want a heartier base.
-
Slightly warm the protein sparing wraps before assembly so they’re more pliable.
🥗 Big Mac Sauce
-
Classic version: mayonnaise + sugar-free ketchup + mustard + diced pickles + a dash of vinegar + paprika.
-
For keto: use sugar-free ketchup and dill relish to cut carbs.
-
Make it ahead so flavors meld and can be kept in the fridge for easy meals! All you need to do is cook the beef and dinner is ready!

🍳 Assembly Tips
-
Don’t overfill—use about ⅓ cup beef per wrap so it stays neat.
-
If using lettuce, double up the leaves for extra stability.
-
Wrap tightly and secure with parchment paper for a grab-and-go option!!!! YUM!
🔥 Extra Flavor Hacks
-
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds to mimic the Big Mac bun vibe.
- Use fish sauce in the special sauce to add UMAMI! YUM

Equipment
Ingredients
SPECIAL SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise I used homemade
- 1/4 cup Dill Pickles chopped
- 3 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Ketchup (or tomato sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite (or 3 tablespoons powdered allulose)
- 1/8 teaspoon fish sauce (OPTIONAL- for Umami flavor)
FILLING:
- 1 pound 95% lean ground beef (I used Butcherbox ground sirloin)
- 1/4 cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
- Boston Leaf Lettuce
- shredded Cheddar cheese
- Toasted sesame seeds
- sliced dill pickles
- cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
- To make the sauce, combine the mayo, chopped pickles, tomato sauce, sweetener, and fish sauce, if using, in a pint-sized jar. Shake well. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- INSTANT POT: Place the ground beef, onion and salt, into the Instant Pot and stir well, breaking up the ground beef. Seal and press Manual for 1 minute or until cooked through. Once finished, press Quick Release.
- SLOW COOKER: Place the ground beef, onion and salt into the slow cooker and stir well to break up the beef. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours or until beef is cooked through.
- SERVE: Uncover the vessel and top the ground beef with the cheese. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced dill pickles. Serve with lettuce for wraps and the dressing.
- STORAGE: Store leftover casserole and dressing in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat the casserole, place in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until heated through.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“I’ve been trying to lose weight for over 20 years since when my Menieres was misdiagnosed and I was put on prednisone. I’ve always struggled with 20-30 lbs and have always been able to lose when I put my mind to it when I was younger but prednisone ballooned me up to gain over 100 lbs that I just couldn’t shed… until now!
In the past, I’ve done fasting as well as high fat keto but I wasn’t losing weight.
I decided to do Maria’s January carnivore challenge. I also purchased the platinum membership and had Craig calculate my macros…my own calculation was WAY off.
As I got into the swing of the challenge, listening and learning, a light bulb finally clicked and it made so much sense that by eating too much fat I wasn’t burning the fat I was carrying.
To my surprise I lost 21.8 lbs during the January challenge which motivated me to continue but adding in a few things during February. I continued to lose weight at a healthy rate.
In March I decided to do the Keto/PSMF challenge to really get a better understanding of and a better handle on macros as well as for the group support. Best thing I ever did as I continue to lose weight at what I feel is a sustainable and healthy rate. I’m down 60 lbs since January (80 since June of 2022) and have finally moved out of the dreaded Obesity classification.
For anyone struggling, please keep at it!!! I’d go weeks with no change, nearing frustration and then all of a sudden drop a lb or two. I know my body was adjusting and some days were challenging but I stuck with it. A lot of non-scale victories…inflammation numbers way down and now realize that much of these past 6 months has been about healing even though I initially thought only the first couple months were my body healing.
I am so grateful to Maria & Craig for their programs, research, and dedication to helping others! I’m a pretty good cook/baker but the recipes that I’ve discovered these past 6 months are phenomenal and a definite game changer for my continued success!” – Jan
