Step-by-step instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion. Stir until the beef is browned and the onions become translucent. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat!
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the flavors.
- Lay a large flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Place a slice of cheddar cheese right in the center.
- Spoon a portion of the beef mixture over the cheese. If you’re feeling generous, top with some shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced pickles.
- Drizzle a generous amount of creamy special sauce on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
- For an added crunch, grill the wrapped tortilla in the skillet until golden and crispy.
- Cut the wrap in half at a diagonal, serve warm, and enjoy!

Storage and reheating tips
To keep your wraps fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If you wish to freeze them, wrap each prepared wrap tightly in plastic wrap first, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. For reheating, simply pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up or reheat in a skillet to regain the crispiness of the tortilla. Always practice safe food handling to enjoy them at their best!
Helpful cooking tips
To elevate your cheeseburger wraps, pre-cook the beef mixture in batches. This not only saves time during busy weeknights but also allows you to have a quick meal ready whenever hunger strikes. Additionally, incorporating spices like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper can add a delightful kick to your wraps.
Creative twists
Don’t hesitate to switch things up! Consider adding jalapeños for heat or a slice of avocado for creaminess. Going vegetarian? Swap the beef for grilled veggies or black beans for a hearty alternative. You could also play around with the sauce by mixing in some sriracha or swapping it out for BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor.
