Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1.5 cups (150 g) shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Dill pickles (optional)
- Ketchup and mustard (or your favorite burger sauce)
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Brown ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring complete cooking with no pink remaining and onions turning translucent.
- Seasoning Enhancement: Infuse the beef mixture with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, thoroughly mixing to distribute flavors evenly.
- Tortilla Assembly: Spread ketchup and mustard across tortilla center, creating a robust flavor foundation for the wrap.
- Vegetable Layer: Arrange crisp lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and tangy pickle pieces over the condiment base, establishing a vibrant textural landscape.
- Protein and Cheese Distribution: Generously spread seasoned beef across the vegetable layer, then crown with melting shredded cheese, allowing residual heat to soften the dairy component.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll from bottom up, crafting a compact parcel that securely envelops all ingredients.
- Grilling Process: Butter a skillet or grill pan, heating to medium temperature, then place wraps seam-side down and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior with fully melted cheese.
- Serving Presentation: Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately alongside complementary sides like crispy fries or a refreshing garden salad.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose lean ground beef (90/10 or 85/15) to prevent excessive grease and ensure a cleaner, more flavorful wrap without soggy tortillas.
- Drain Excess Fat: After cooking ground beef, carefully drain fat using a colander to reduce greasiness and create a lighter, healthier final dish.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Use room temperature cheese and cover the wrap briefly while grilling to help cheese melt evenly and create a gooey texture throughout.
- Tortilla Temperature Trick: Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to improve flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping and grilling.
