Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded cheddar or American cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wrap and Garnish:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Dill pickles (optional)
- Ketchup and mustard (or your favorite burger sauce)
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef and diced onions in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the onions become translucent, ensuring no pink remains in the beef.
- Season the beef mixture with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to distribute the spices evenly and enhance the flavor profile.
- Prepare individual tortillas by spreading a thin layer of ketchup and mustard across the center, creating a flavor base for the wrap.
- Layer crisp lettuce leaves, fresh tomato slices, and tangy pickle pieces over the condiment spread, establishing a foundation of texture and taste.
- Distribute the seasoned beef mixture generously over the vegetable layer, ensuring an even spread across the tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the meat.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up, creating a tight, compact wrap that secures all ingredients.
- Lightly butter a skillet or grill pan and heat to medium temperature, creating a golden-brown surface for grilling.
- Position the wraps seam-side down in the heated pan, grilling for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla develops a crispy, caramelized exterior and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately with optional side dishes like crispy fries or a fresh garden salad.
Notes
- Customize the Beef Blend: Mix ground beef with ground turkey or lean ground chicken for a lighter protein option that maintains the burger’s rich flavor profile.
- Cheese Flexibility: Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack, smoked gouda, or blue cheese to create unique taste experiences and match personal preferences.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Replace tortillas with large lettuce leaves for a gluten-free, low-carb alternative that keeps the delicious burger essence intact.
- Vegetarian Transformation: Substitute beef with plant-based crumbles, black beans, or grilled portobello mushrooms to create a satisfying meatless version of these wraps.
