  • 1 tbsp of tomato paste/ketchup(sugar-free)
  • Sugar-free relish, one tbsp.
  • A teaspoon of mustard(yellow)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

TORTILLAS:

  • Find the wraps that must be low in calories/have low Weight Watchers points. They should be around 2 smart points.

PICKLES:

  • The classic flavor of Big Mac Wraps will be achieved by using dill pickles. That’s why we have used it here. As the pickles of butter & bread will be high in sugar.

BEEF:

  • We have to use the ground version of beef. To keep the points low, use at least 93% or more of lean beef. Ground turkey meat will give you the more leaner option. If you want to make it for a vegan, use plant-based crumbles.

SAUCE:

  • We make the sauce using the ketchup & mayonnaise, which should be sugar-free & fat-free, respectively. For vegans, use the vegan alternatives.

CHEESE:

  • Here, we are using the cheddar cheese, which must be low in fat to keep the WW points low. Use plant-based cheese if you are vegan.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Include relish, light mayo, powdered onion & garlic, ketchup(sugar-free), vinegar, and mustard in a little bowl.
  2. Combine all of them well using a whisk & keep the sauce in a corner.
  3. Place a skillet(non-stick) over a normal flame.
  4. Include the ground beef & onions(chopped) in the heated skillet.
  5. Stir continuously till the beef changes color.
  6. Cook them till the onions become tender & the beef starts to brown.
  7. Then add the spices like salt, powdered garlic & pepper(black).
  8. Mix & cook for a while, then turn the flame off.
  9. The tortillas must be slightly warmed up.
  10. Place the warmed-up wraps on your working surface.
  11. Spread the sauce(big mac), lettuce(shredded), cheddar cheese(grated), pickles, & beef mixture(cooked).
  12. Fold it as you want, like burrito-style or flat wrap.
  13. Your Weight Watchers Big Mac Wrap is ready to serve!

TIPS:

  • To have each item in every bite, chop the veggies very finely so that they properly distribute in the whole wrap.
  • Must warm the tortillas right before assembling. Otherwise, they will tear when you fold them up.
  • Use a minimum of 93 percent of lean meat or more to keep your WW points in budget.

STORAGE DETAILS:

NOTE: The sauce & lettuce are sensitive to freezing. Therefore, we don’t suggest freezing the wraps.

REFRIGERATION:

  • Take two containers(air-tight) & pack the cooked meat & sauce in them respectively. Assemble them any time & enjoy while refrigerating them for around four days.
  • Wraps should be assembled fresh to enjoy them more. If you have any leftover wraps, pack them properly using the foil & cling wrap. Consume it within twenty-four hours.

FAQs:

What may be the other options to replace the tortillas?

  • Lettuce leaves, collard greens, or low-carb pita might be the best swaps for the tortilla.

Can I convert this dish into the veg version?

  • Absolutely! Swap the ketchup, mayonnaise, & cheese to their vegan alternatives. Plant-based crumble/lentils will serve as the vegan protein option. This way, your WW dish can be converted into its vegan version.

Are these wraps meal prep-friendly?

  • Yes! Cook the beef meat & prepare the sauce earlier. Assemble the wraps quickly using the fresh tortilla & lettuce at the time of serving.
