How to Make Cheeseburger Wraps
1. Cook the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the meat as it browns, until fully cooked and no longer pink.
2. Season
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the beef, then remove from heat.
3. Prepare the Sauce (Optional)
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of sauce in the center. Add seasoned beef, shredded cheese, pickles, lettuce, and diced tomato.
5. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom like a burrito.
6. Toast (Optional but Recommended)
Place the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden, warm, and slightly crispy.
Storage
- Refrigerator: Store wrapped leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave
- Freezing: Freeze the beef filling only (without lettuce or tomato) for up to 2 months
FAQ
Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef?
Yes! Both work well and make the wraps lighter.
What other cheeses can I use?
American, Monterey Jack, or Colby cheese are great alternatives.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prepare the beef mixture in advance and assemble the wraps just before serving.
Are these good for kids?
Absolutely—kids love them, and you can skip pickles or spices if needed.
