Cheeseburger Burrito Wrap Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup pickles, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup sliced onions (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat, if necessary, and season the beef with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
2. Prepare the Special Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise (if using). Stir until smooth and set aside.
3. Assemble the Cheeseburger Burritos:
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon some of the cooked beef mixture down the center of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while the beef is still hot, so the cheese begins to melt.
- Add a few spoonfuls of the ketchup-mustard sauce.
- Top with shredded lettuce, chopped pickles, diced tomatoes, and sliced onions (if using).
4. Wrap the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the fillings inside.
5. Serve:
- Serve immediately, or you can grill the wrapped burritos for 1-2 minutes on each side in a skillet to crisp up the outside (optional).
- Slice the burrito in half for easy serving.
Tips:
- Make It Spicy: Add some hot sauce, jalapeños, or chili flakes to the filling for extra heat.
- Customize: Feel free to swap out the cheese, add bacon bits, or use lettuce and tomato as your main toppings.
- Storage: If making ahead, wrap each burrito in foil and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or grill for a crispy exterior.
This Cheeseburger Burrito Wrap is the perfect fusion of two classic comfort foods. It’s flavorful, hearty, and fun to eat—enjoy! 🍔🌯
