Ingredients:
For the Burger Wraps:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or leaner, depending on your preference)
- 8 strips of crispy bacon (cooked and chopped)
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch or 10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 small tomato, sliced (optional)
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded (optional)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (or BBQ sauce for a twist)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
Start by forming your ground beef into 4 evenly sized patties. If you want to add a little extra flavor to the meat, season it with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. This helps the burger cook evenly and prevents it from puffing up in the middle as it cooks. - Cook the Bacon:
While the burgers are being prepared, cook the bacon in a skillet or on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Once cooked, set the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then chop it into small bits. The bacon adds a savory, smoky crunch that will take your wraps to the next level! - Cook the Burger Patties:
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side (depending on the thickness and how well-done you like your burgers). When the burgers are nearly done, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is gooey and melted. - Assemble the Wraps:
Once the burgers are cooked, it’s time to assemble your Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps! Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (or ketchup, depending on your preference) in the center of each tortilla. Then, place a cooked burger patty with melted cheese in the center of each wrap.
Top each patty with the crispy bacon bits, some fresh onion slices (if desired), tomato slices, and a handful of shredded lettuce for extra crunch and freshness. Feel free to add pickles or other burger toppings that you love. The combination of hot, juicy burger, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies wrapped in a warm tortilla will have you salivating in anticipation!
- Wrap and Serve:
To wrap the tortillas, fold in the sides and then roll them up tightly from the bottom, securing all the fillings inside. You can toast the wraps in a dry skillet or grill pan for 1-2 minutes per side if you prefer a crispy outer layer, or you can serve them soft and warm as-is. - Cut and Enjoy:
Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easy handling and serving. Now, you’re ready to enjoy your Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps! - Read more on next page
