Step-by-step instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the finely chopped onion over medium heat. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
- Stir in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and remove the skillet from heat.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create a flavorful sauce for the wraps.
- Lay out your tortillas and spread a layer of the sauce.
- Top each tortilla with a generous portion of the seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped pickles, crunchy lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
- Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up tightly to secure the filling.
- Toast the wraps in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Best ways to enjoy it
When serving cheeseburger wraps, consider pairing them with a fresh side salad for a refreshing crunch or some sweet potato fries for a healthier take on classic sides. You could even prepare a dipping sauce or extra toppings to elevate the experience. Try a tangy barbecue sauce or relish on the side for added flavor!
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers, store your wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet over low heat to keep them crispy. For longer storage, you can wrap them in foil and freeze for up to a month. When ready to eat, simply thaw and reheat directly from the freezer or let them defrost in the fridge overnight.
Helpful cooking tips
- Season your beef: Don’t shy away from experimenting with additional spices! A little cayenne or a splash of Worcestershire sauce can take your wraps to the next level.
- Tortilla options: Swap flour tortillas for corn, whole wheat, or even gluten-free wraps based on your dietary preferences.
- Layer wisely: Be mindful of how you layer your toppings. Keeping the sauce on the bottom helps prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.
Creative twists
Get creative with your cheeseburger wraps by trying different toppings or seasonings. For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or switch out conventional toppings for avocado and salsa. You can also go vegetarian with black beans and a variety of grilled veggies or try out different meats like chicken or pulled pork for a unique flair.
