Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1.5 cups (150 g) shredded cheddar or American cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Dill pickles (optional)
- Ketchup and mustard (or your favorite burger sauce)
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Heat a skillet over medium flame, sautéing ground beef and onions until meat browns and onions soften. Drain excess grease thoroughly.
- Seasoning Integration: Infuse the beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow seasonings to meld for two minutes, then remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Tortilla Assembly: Spread ketchup and mustard across the tortilla center. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, and pickle rounds to create a vibrant vegetable foundation.
- Filling Distribution: Evenly spread the seasoned beef mixture over the vegetable layer. Generously sprinkle shredded cheese to ensure optimal melting.
- Wrap Formation: Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll from the bottom to create a compact, leak-proof package that secures all ingredients.
- Grilling Technique: Coat a skillet or grill pan with butter or cooking spray. Place wraps seam-side down, ensuring direct heat contact.
- Final Cooking: Grill each side for 2-3 minutes, applying gentle spatula pressure to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and complete cheese melting. Slice diagonally and serve immediately with preferred accompaniments like fries or salad.
Notes
- Manage Meat Moisture: Drain ground beef thoroughly to prevent soggy wraps and ensure a crispy, appetizing texture that holds together perfectly.
- Control Cheese Melt: Use room temperature cheese for even melting and sprinkle directly onto warm beef to help it integrate smoothly without clumping.
- Master Wrap Technique: Fold tortilla sides tightly inward before rolling to create a secure seal that prevents filling from escaping during grilling, maintaining a neat presentation.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap ground beef with lean turkey or plant-based crumbles, use low-carb tortillas, or opt for dairy-free cheese to accommodate different dietary preferences without compromising flavor.
