In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup (or French dressing), mustard, relish, onion powder, garlic powder, and vinegar.
Stir until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the flour tortillas.
Spread 1–2 tablespoons of Big Mac sauce on each wrap.
Add a layer of ground beef.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced pickles, and onions.
Roll the tortillas burrito-style or fold like a wrap.
