Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Ground Beef: 1 pound, 80/20 blend is recommended for flavor and moisture.
- Tortillas: Large flour tortillas, burrito size.
- Cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese, shredded.
- Burger Seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika. Adjust to your preference!
- Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, bacon (optional).
- Oil: For grilling.
How to Make Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps:
- Prepare the Beef: In a bowl, combine ground beef with burger seasoning. Mix well and form into thin patties, slightly larger than your tortillas.
- Grill the Patties: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Cheese it Up!: Remove the patties from the grill and immediately top each patty with shredded cheese. Let the cheese melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Place a cheeseburger patty in the center. Top with your desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.). Add your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise).
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then tightly roll from the bottom up, like a burrito.
- Grill the Wraps: Lightly oil the grill again. Place the wraps on the grill, seam-side down, and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. This will help seal the wrap and melt the cheese further.
- Serve & Enjoy! Cut the wraps in half (optional) and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations:
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your burger seasoning for a kick.
- Go Gourmet: Use gourmet cheese like Gruyere or Provolone.
- Add Some Bacon: Cook crumbled bacon and add it as a topping.
- Veggie Option: Substitute ground beef with a plant-based burger patty.
- Make it Ahead: Cook the patties and prep the toppings ahead of time. Assemble the wraps just before grilling.
- Air Fryer Option: If you don’t have a grill, you can cook these in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Why This Recipe Works So Well:
The magic lies in the grilling. Grilling the wraps after assembly helps to:
- Melt the cheese completely: Ensures a gooey, cheesy center.
- Seal the tortilla: Prevents the filling from spilling out.
- Adds flavor: Creates a slightly crispy and smoky exterior.
