The image shows two halves of a grilled wrap stacked on a white marbled surface, each cut to display the inside layers clearly. The outer layer is a golden-brown grilled tortilla with distinct grill marks. Inside, there is a bottom layer of finely cooked ground beef, rich brown in color and slightly crumbly in texture. Above the beef is a layer of melted yellow cheese that is slightly gooey and dripping down the sides. The top layer consists of fresh, bright green shredded lettuce that is crisp and adds a fresh contrast to the warm colors below. In the blurred background, there are golden French fries standing upright, adding context to the meal. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island or burger sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Step 2: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon the cooked beef onto the center.
  3. Step 3: Top the beef with shredded cheddar, diced pickles, shredded lettuce, diced onion, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.
  4. Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up into a wrap. For added crispness, optionally sear the wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
  5. Step 5: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Use sharp cheddar or a blend of cheeses for a richer flavor.
  • Add a few slices of tomato for extra freshness and juiciness.
  • Swap the Thousand Island dressing with your favorite burger sauce or a simple mayo-ketchup mix.
  • For a lighter version, try using whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
  • Include pickled jalapeños if you like a bit of a spicy kick.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best taste, avoid adding lettuce and sauce if you plan to store them; add fresh before serving. Reheat wraps in a skillet or microwave until warmed through, but be aware lettuce may wilt during reheating.

How to Serve

In the background, out of focus, there are golden French fries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps vegetarian?

Yes! Substitute the ground beef with cooked lentils, crumbled tofu, or a plant-based ground meat alternative. Adjust seasonings as needed for flavor.

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients in advance, but assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy and the lettuce fresh.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Wrap Fillings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island or burger sauce

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet set over medium heat, add the ground beef along with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a spatula until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease to prevent sogginess.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas in a clean skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the cooked ground beef into the center of each tortilla. Top the beef with shredded cheddar cheese, diced pickles, shredded lettuce, diced onion, and a generous drizzle of Thousand Island or burger sauce.
  4. Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a wrap.
  5. Optional Sear for Crispness: For added texture and flavor, place each assembled wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet. Sear for 1–2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded cheddar for better melting and flavor.
  • To keep wraps warm before serving, wrap in foil and place in a low oven (200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
  • Feel free to substitute the Thousand Island sauce with your favorite burger sauce or a homemade version.
  • For a lower-carb option, use low-carb or whole wheat tortillas.
  • Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but assemble wraps fresh to avoid sogginess.
