Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef: Use lean beef for a healthier option.
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled: Crispy bacon adds great flavor and texture.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Sharp cheddar works well for a more intense flavor.
- 4 large flour tortillas: You can also use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas if you prefer.
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional): Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Lettuce leaves (optional): Iceberg or romaine adds crunch.
- Sliced pickles (optional): Dill or bread-and-butter pickles for a tangy bite.
Directions
- Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for a minute or two.
- Prepare the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a little mayonnaise on each tortilla if using.
- Add a layer of lettuce and pickles if you want extra crunch and flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly onto the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
- Wrap and Toast:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Cut the wraps in half and serve hot. Enjoy your Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch, BBQ, or ketchup!
Tips and Variations
- Spice it Up: Add some diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef for a kick.
- Veggie Boost: Consider adding diced bell peppers or onions to the beef as it cooks for added flavor and nutrition.
- Cheese Options: Try using different cheeses, such as pepper jack for some heat, or mozzarella for a melty texture.
- Meal Prep: These wraps can be made ahead of time. Just keep them wrapped in foil in the refrigerator and heat them in a skillet when ready to serve.
- Freezing: You can freeze the assembled wraps before toasting. Just wrap tightly in foil and store in an airtight container. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, then toast in a skillet for crispiness.
