Ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20) – For maximum juiciness and flavor
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce – Adds umami richness
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese – Or your preferred melting cheese
- 4 strips crispy bacon – Cooked to golden perfection
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter – For grilling the wraps
- ½ cup shredded lettuce – For crunch and freshness
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- ¼ cup pickles, sliced (optional, but highly recommended)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or your favorite burger sauce)
- ¼ cup ketchup (optional, or substitute with mustard, BBQ, or spicy aioli)
Instructions
Step 1: Season and Shape the Burger Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined—avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender. Form the beef into 4 large, slightly flattened patties. Pro tip: make them slightly wider than your tortillas; they’ll shrink a bit during cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (160°F / 71°C for well-done). In the final minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the pan briefly to melt. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
Step 3: Cook the Bacon
While the patties are cooking, fry the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 4: Prep the Wraps
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until soft and flexible (this makes them easier to fold). Lay each tortilla on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or burger sauce down the center. Add shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickles if using.
Step 5: Build the Wraps
Place a cheesy burger patty over the veggies on each tortilla. Top with a strip of crispy bacon. You can also add extra condiments like ketchup, mustard, or a spoonful of your favorite BBQ sauce for a flavor boost.
Step 6: Wrap and Toast
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito-style wrap. In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the wraps in half for easy serving and plate them with your favorite dipping sauces—extra mayo, ketchup, or a smoky chipotle ranch. These wraps also go great with fries, sweet potato wedges, or a crisp side salad.
Variations & Tips
- Customize the Cheese: Swap cheddar for pepper jack, Swiss, provolone, or American for a different melty twist.
- Add-On Ideas: Sautéed onions, jalapeños, or even a fried egg take these wraps to the next level.
- Make it Lighter: Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef and skip the bacon for a lighter take.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Cook the patties and bacon in advance and store separately. Assemble and grill wraps when ready to eat.
- Freezer Tip: Wrapped but ungrilled wraps can be frozen and then grilled straight from frozen for a quick meal.
