Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps combine all the classic flavors of a cheeseburger into a convenient and tasty wrap. These wraps are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, offering a fun twist on traditional cheeseburgers. Wrapped in a flour tortilla and grilled to perfection, they’re loaded with lean ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a touch of mustard. Ideal for busy days, they can be made ahead and enjoyed hot or cold.
Ingredients
– 1 pound (450 g) lean ground beef
– 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons (30 g) ketchup
– 1 teaspoon (2 g) dried minced onion
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25 cm)
– 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup (50 g) shredded lettuce
– 1 tomato, sliced
– 1 small red onion, sliced
– Mustard (optional)
Instructions
1. Brown and crumble the ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, minced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and reduce heat to low. Let the mixture heat through for about 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese down the center of each tortilla. Evenly divide the beef mixture among the tortillas, placing it over the cheese. Drizzle a small amount of mustard on top of the beef, if desired, and add a couple of tomato slices.
3. Roll each tortilla burrito-style, making sure the filling is enclosed.
4. Preheat a grill (indoor or outdoor) over medium heat. Place the wraps, two at a time, on the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, or until grill marks appear and the tortilla is golden-brown.
5. Carefully remove the wraps from the grill and place them on a plate. Unwrap slightly to add shredded lettuce, red onion, or any additional toppings. Re-roll the wrap and cut diagonally.

– If you prefer a crunchier texture, add additional veggies like shredded carrots or cucumbers inside the wrap.
**Storing Recommendations**
– Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
– Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispness or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
