Ingredients
For the Filling:
1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
For Assembly:
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito-size)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional, for extra meltiness)
½ cup chopped dill pickles
1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
For the Cheeseburger Sauce (Highly Recommended):
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp yellow mustard (or Dijon for a kick)
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until fully browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Season
Sprinkle in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread 1–2 tbsp of sauce in the center.
Top with ¼ of the beef mixture, followed by ¼ of the cheeses, pickles, lettuce, and tomato.
5. Wrap Tightly
Fold the left and right sides inward, then roll from the bottom up, tucking ingredients in as you go—like a burrito. Keep it snug to prevent spillage.
6. Toast for Crisp Perfection (Optional but Worth It!)
Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden, slightly crispy, and the cheese begins to melt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with sweet potato fries or a dill pickle spear
Pair with cola or iced tea for a diner-style experience
Pack for lunchboxes (wrap in foil to hold shape)
Offer hot sauce or ranch on the side for dipping
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey or plant-based meat?
Yes! Adjust seasoning as needed—plant-based meats often benefit from extra paprika and garlic.
Can I make these ahead?
Assemble without sauce and store filling separately. Reheat beef, then assemble and toast just before serving.
Are they freezer-friendly?
Not ideal—the tortillas become soggy when thawed. Best made fresh.
Gluten-free option?
Use certified GF tortillas and verify all seasonings/sauces are GF.
