🛒 Ingredient Breakdown
Let’s look at what makes these cheeseburger wraps sizzle:
🍔 Beef Mixture:
- 1 lb Ground Beef: Lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10) works best for flavor and less grease.
- 1 tsp Dried Minced Onion: Gives that classic burger flavor. Use fresh if you prefer.
- 2 tbsp Ketchup + 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce: Adds savory sweetness and umami depth.
- Salt & Pepper: To season the beef just right.
🌯 Wrap Ingredients:
- 5 Large Tortillas (10–12 inches): Burrito-size for easy rolling.
- Cheese: Sliced American or shredded cheddar both melt beautifully.
- Lettuce: Add at the end to keep it crisp!
- Tomato Slices: Thin slices work best to avoid sogginess.
- Mustard: Optional, but adds that authentic cheeseburger zing.
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 FIRST STEP: Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the ground beef, stirring until no pink remains. Drain the grease.
Return to heat and add:
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Dried Minced Onion
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Simmer for 2–3 minutes to combine flavors. Set aside.
🔥 SECOND STEP: Prep the Tortillas
Lightly grill or warm your tortillas to make them pliable. You can do this in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.
Lay each tortilla flat and:
- Add a strip of cheese (sliced or shredded) down the center.
- Spoon 2–3 heaping tablespoons of the beef mixture over the cheese.
🔥 THIRD STEP: Build the Burger Layers
Top the beef with:
- A drizzle of mustard
- A couple of tomato slices
Roll up the tortilla burrito-style: fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom.
Wrap Tip: Don’t overstuff or the wrap may burst when grilling.
🔥 FOURTH STEP: Grill the Wrap
Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down onto a skillet or grill pan. Cook over medium-high heat, turning every 1–2 minutes, until all sides are crispy and golden.
This seals the wrap and melts the cheese perfectly.
🔥 FIFTH STEP: Add Lettuce & Serve
Carefully unroll the wrap just enough to tuck in some shredded lettuce, then roll it back up. Serve immediately while hot and gooey!
🍽️ What to Serve With Cheeseburger Wraps
These wraps are hearty enough on their own but shine with simple sides:
- Potato Wedges or Fries
- Pickle Spears
- Side Salad
- Coleslaw
- Sweet Potato Chips
Or offer a dipping station with:
- Ranch dressing

🔁 Storage & Reheating Tips
- Fridge: Store leftover wraps in foil or an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: For best results, reheat in a skillet or toaster oven. Microwave is fine but may lose crispness.
- Make-Ahead: Prep the beef mixture in advance and assemble wraps when ready to grill.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this low-carb or keto-friendly?
Yes! Use low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of flour tortillas.

American cheese melts smoothly, but shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack all work well.
Can I bake them instead of grilling?
