How to Make Cheeseburger Wraps

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the meat, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.

2. Season

Sprinkle in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, then remove from heat.

3. Make the Sauce (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of sauce in the center. Top with seasoned beef, shredded cheese, pickles, lettuce, and diced tomato.

5. Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.

6. Toast (Optional but Recommended)

Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
