Grilled Cheeseburger Wrap Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your preferred type)
  • 1 small onion, finely sliced (optional)
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Lettuce, shredded
  • Pickles, sliced
  • Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or other burger sauces
  • Butter or oil, for grilling

Equipment:

  • Grill or stovetop griddle
  • Large skillet
  • Knife and cutting board

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Form the ground beef into 4 thin patties slightly larger than the tortillas since they will shrink when cooked. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
    • Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
  2. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
    • Place a slice of cheese in the center of each tortilla.
    • Add a cooked beef patty on top of each slice of cheese.
    • Top each patty with onion slices, tomato slices, lettuce, pickles, and your preferred sauces.
  3. Fold the Wraps:
    • Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling.
    • Fold the sides in, overlapping them to completely enclose the filling, similar to wrapping a burrito.
  4. Grill the Wraps:
    • Heat a grill or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter or oil it.
    • Place the wraps seam side down on the grill. Press down slightly with a spatula to seal the wraps and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the wraps from the grill and allow them to cool for a minute before slicing in half.
    • Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Tips:

  • Cheese Options: You can use different types of cheese such as Swiss, mozzarella, or a mix of your favorites to vary the flavor.
  • Adding Bacon: For extra flavor, add cooked bacon strips inside the wraps before grilling.
  • Vegetarian Version: Replace the ground beef with a grilled portobello mushroom or a vegetarian patty if desired.

These Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps combine all the delicious elements of a classic burger in a fun and easy-to-eat format. They’re perfect for a quick meal or a casual get-together, offering a creative take on familiar flavors. Enjoy your meal!
