How to Make Burrito Style Cheeseburger Wraps
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil or some leftover bacon fat over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Fry until almost browned, then drain any excess fat. Season with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper, finishing the browning process.
Step 2: Add the Sauce and Assemble
Pour in the beef stock mixed with cornstarch and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to cook until the liquid thickens. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface, layer with lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes. Drizzle with burger sauce, add bacon, beef, and top with cheese. Wrap it up tight and optionally grill to seal.
Pro Tips for Making Burrito Style Cheeseburger Wraps
- Tortilla Warm-Up: Briefly warm your tortillas to make them more pliable and reduce tearing.

- Creative Grilling: Grill your wraps with a bit of cheese at the seam for a perfect closure and delightful crispiness.
- Bacon Prep: Cook your bacon to your desired level of crispiness to add a satisfying crunch to each bite.

- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1/2 medium White Onion, finely diced
- 4 tbsp Diced Pickles

Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil or leftover bacon fat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until almost browned throughout, then drain excess fat if needed.
- Add Seasonings and Liquid: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Continue cooking until beef is browned. Add beef stock mixed with cornstarch and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the liquid thickens and absorbs into the beef, keeping it juicy.
- Prepare the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a surface. Spread shredded lettuce in the bottom center of the tortilla.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Top the lettuce with diced pickles, chopped onion, diced tomato, and a drizzle of burger sauce.
- Assemble: Place two rashers of bacon on top, followed by a portion of the cooked beef, then layer with two slices of cheese.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the fillings, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll up to enclose the ingredients securely.
- Optional Grilling: For extra crispiness, place the wraps seam-side-down in a hot griddle or skillet and cook until charred and crispy, pressing gently. Make sure to add a small amount of cheese at the seam to help seal the wrap.
