Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- large, soft flour tortillas (about 8-10 inches) or sturdy, crisp lettuce leaves
- good quality mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish or finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- thinly sliced dill pickles
- 4 cups crisp iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
- 1/2 small white onion, finely diced
- slices of American cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Special Sauce by combining half a cup of mayonnaise, two tablespoons of sweet pickle relish (or finely chopped dill pickles), one tablespoon of yellow mustard, one teaspoon of white vinegar, half a teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder, and a quarter teaspoon of paprika in a medium bowl. Stir until well combined and smooth, then set aside in the fridge.
- Finely shred about four cups of crisp iceberg lettuce and dice half a small white onion very finely. Slice dill pickles thinly if they are not already pre-sliced.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add one pound of ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned all over, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- If using cheese slices, lay them directly over the warm beef in the pan for a minute or two to let them melt slightly.
- To assemble the wraps, warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15-20 seconds if using. Lay out a tortilla (or a large, sturdy lettuce leaf). Spread a generous layer of the Special Sauce down the center, add a portion of the seasoned ground beef, layer a slice or two of cheese, a handful of shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of diced onion, and several slices of dill pickles.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla (or lettuce leaf) first, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. Slice in half diagonally right before serving.

Keywords: Let the Special Sauce sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly dried to avoid sogginess, and consider lightly toasting flour tortillas for added texture.
