  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 8 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup dill pickle slices
• For the Special Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

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

Directions

1. Make the Special Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, French dressing, sweet relish, minced onion, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas gently in a separate clean skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds until they become pliable.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by spreading a generous layer of the special sauce over each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced onions on top of the sauce.
5. Add the Beef and Cheese: Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the center of each tortilla. Top with slices of cheddar cheese and pickle slices.
6. Roll the Wraps: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
7. Serve: Serve the wraps immediately, sliced in half if desired, with any additional special sauce on the side for dipping.
