Instructions

1. Cook the Beef
   • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
   • While cooking, season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Once cooked through, remove from heat.
2. Melt the Cheese
   • Place a slice of cheddar on top of the hot meat so it melts slightly.
3. Prepare Tortillas
   • Warm the flour tortillas a bit (in a skillet or microwave) so they become flexible and easy to roll.
4. Assemble the Wraps
   • Spread ketchup and mustard onto each tortilla.
   • Add some of the beef with melted cheese.
   • Top with onion rings, tomato slices, and salad greens.
   • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom.
5. Grill the Wraps
   • Brush a little oil on a grill pan (or regular pan) over medium heat.
   • Place each wrap seam-side down, then grill for 2–3 minutes per side until the wrap is golden and crispy.
6. Serve
   • Serve hot, optionally with extra ketchup or mustard on the side.
   • They go great with fries, salad, or just on their own as a filling snack.

You Must Know

• Be careful not to overfill the wraps, so they’re easier to roll and grill.
• Gently warming the tortillas helps prevent them from tearing when you fold.
• Grill on moderate heat so the outside crisps without burning before the inside is heated.

---

Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Re-grill in a pan to keep the outside crispy.
• Meal Prep: You can cook the beef ahead and assemble just before grilling.

---

Ingredient Substitutions

• Use turkey or plant-based “meat” instead of beef.
• Swap cheddar for Gouda, mozzarella, or any meltable cheese you like.
• Instead of regular tortillas, try whole-wheat or spinach wraps.
• Add extras like bacon, pickles, or jalapeños for more flavor.

---

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with fries (regular or sweet potato) or a fresh side salad.
• Offer dipping sauces: extra ketchup, mustard, or a creamy burger sauce.
• Bring them to a picnic — they’re great wrapped up and easy to eat on the go.

---

Pro Tips

• Press gently on the wraps while grilling (with a spatula) so they crisp up evenly.
• If the meat is too greasy, drain some fat before adding cheese.
• Let them rest for a minute after grilling — that helps the filling settle so it doesn’t spill when you cut or bite in.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make these vegetarian?
Yes — use veggie ground “meat” or sauté mushrooms instead of beef.

→ Can I bake them instead of grilling?
You can bake them: place them on a baking sheet, brush with a little oil, and bake at ~180 °C (350 °F) for about 10–12 minutes until crisp.

→ Do I have to use ketchup and mustard?
You don’t have to. You can use any sauce you like — BBQ, mayo, spicy sauce — or skip it altogether.
