• • ½ small onion, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

• • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

• • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

• ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  Food & Drink

For the Special Sauce:

• • ½ cup mayonnaise

• • 2 tablespoons ketchup

• • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

• • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

• • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• • ½ teaspoon onion powder

• Dash of hot sauce (optional)

For the Wraps:

• • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

• • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or American cheese slices)

• 1 cup shredded lettuce

• ½ cup dill pickle slices

• ½ cup diced tomato (optional)

• ¼ cup diced red onion (optional)

The Method: Quick, Easy, Delicious

Step 1: Make the Special Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.

This sauce is what makes a cheeseburger taste like a cheeseburger. Don't skip it.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until beef is browned and onion is softened, 6-8 minutes.

2. Add garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Cook 1 minute more until fragrant.

3. Drain excess grease if needed (though 80/20 leaves plenty of flavor).

4. Reduce heat to low and stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in damp paper towels for 30 seconds. Warm tortillas are pliable and won't crack when folded.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay a warm tortilla on a clean surface.

2. Spread a generous tablespoon of special sauce down the center.

3. Top with a quarter of the cheese-beef mixture.

4. Add lettuce, pickles, tomato, and red onion as desired.

5. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese if you're feeling extra.
