- Add ground meat and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
- Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add Worcestershire sauce if using.
- Cook until the meat is completely cooked through. Ground poultry should reach 74°C (165°F).
2. Assemble the wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat.
- Spread a spoonful of homemade burger sauce in the center.
- Add a generous scoop of cooked meat.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the meat.
- Add lettuce. Add tomatoes, pickles, and red onion if desired.
- Fold the sides inward and roll tightly.
3. Make them crispy
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
- Place each wrap seam-side down.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan, slice in half, and serve warm!
Notes
For picky eaters: Keep the filling simple! Just meat, cheese, and a little ketchup. Serve the vegetables on the side. For extra crispy wraps: Lightly brush the outside with olive oil before grilling. For meal prepping: Cook the burger filling ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat. For a healthier version: Use lean ground turkey or chicken, whole-wheat tortillas, and Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the sauce.
