For the Special Sauce:

Directions

Prepare the Special Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and sugar. Stir until well combined, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up into small crumbles. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until fully browned, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of the special sauce over the center. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a generous portion of the cooked ground beef. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, and pickle slices.
Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you roll. If desired, lightly toast the wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to create a slight crisp.
Serve: Slice the wrap in half and serve with extra special sauce for dipping.

Variations

Low-Carb Option: Swap the tortilla for a lettuce wrap.
Spicy Version: Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the beef.
Cheesy Delight: Melt American cheese on top of the beef before assembling.
Chicken Alternative: Use ground chicken or shredded grilled chicken in place of beef.
