Step 1: Prepare the Beef
- Season the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Step 2: Grill the Patties
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill Patties: Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Warm Tortillas: While the burgers are cooking, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.
- Layer the Ingredients: Place a cheeseburger patty in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickles (if using), and drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
Step 4: Wrap and Grill
- Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling.
- Grill Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve
- Slice and Enjoy: Remove from the grill, slice in half, and serve with additional condiments or a side of fries!
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: Mix just until combined to keep the burgers tender.
- Keep it Juicy: Use ground beef with some fat for juiciness (80/20 is ideal).
- Customize: Feel free to add any other toppings like avocado, onions, or your favorite sauces!
Variations
- Spicy Version: Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a kick.
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute beef with a veggie burger or black bean patties.
- Cheese Lovers: Mix different cheeses into the beef or add more cheese varieties in the wrap.
