Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps Quick

Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps have all the beefy cheesy flavor of classic burgers packed into a toasted tortilla The result is a handheld dinner that is totally craveable These have become a favorite in my house for nights when everyone is craving comfort food but I want something quick to make and easy to clean up afterward

I made these during a busy week and they instantly reminded me of summer grilling but with way less clean up My husband is already asking when we will have them again

Ingredients

• Lean ground beef: gives you classic burger taste but keeps things lighter Choose fresh meat with bright red color for best results
• Flour tortillas: provide a soft wrap and grill up crispy If you like a little whole grain flavor try whole wheat versions
• Cheddar cheese: melts perfectly and adds a sharp flavor Seek blocks you can shred yourself for better melt
• Iceberg or romaine lettuce: gives freshness and crunch Look for crisp pale green leaves
• Tomato: adds juicy flavor and color Go for deep red ripe tomatoes that feel heavy for their size
• Salt and pepper: enhance all the ingredients
• Ketchup mustard or your favorite sauce: ties everything together
• Cooking spray: helps toast the wraps without sticking

Step-by-Step Instructions

Brown the Beef:

Crumble ground beef into a skillet Cook over medium heat breaking it up with a spatula until no longer pink Drain any excess fat and season with salt and pepper for classic cheeseburger taste

Assemble the Wraps:

Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface Place a scoop of beef just below center of each tortilla Top with cheese shredded lettuce and chopped tomato Drizzle with ketchup and mustard or your sauce of choice Keep the filling in a horizontal strip to make wrapping easier

Fold and Seal:

Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling Then roll the wrap up from the bottom as tightly as you can like a burrito Press gently to help seal and keep everything inside

Grill the Wraps:

Heat a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat Coat lightly with cooking spray Place wraps seam side down Grill each wrap a few minutes per side pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown and crispy all over

Serve:

Slice wraps in half on the diagonal Let them rest a couple of minutes before serving to help the cheese set and keep the filling from spilling out

My favorite part is the crunchy browned tortilla I love the smell of them grilling it always reminds me of nights cooking together as a family My daughter loves adding her own toppings even if that only means extra cheese

Storage Tips

Refrigerate leftovers wrapped tight in foil These wraps reheat best in an air fryer or oven for a just grilled texture If freezing be sure to cool them fully before wrapping tightly and storing Keep for up to three months and reheat straight from frozen
