Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it combines all the flavors of a cheeseburger in a handheld wrap that cooks up super fast in the air fryer. The wraps get crispy on the outside while the cheese melts perfectly inside, making every bite flavorful and satisfying. Plus, they’re easy to customize with whatever toppings or extras I’m craving.

Ground beef
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Flour tortillas
Ketchup
Mustard
Pickles, sliced
Optional: diced onions, lettuce, tomato

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Divide the seasoned beef into portions and form small patties that fit inside the tortillas.
Place each patty in a tortilla, top with shredded cheddar cheese, pickles, and any other preferred toppings like diced onions or tomato slices. Add a little ketchup and mustard to taste.
Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides to prevent leakage.
Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the beef is fully cooked.
Carefully remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute before serving.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps and takes roughly 15 minutes from start to finish, including prep and cooking time. It’s perfect for a quick meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

Variations

I often switch up this recipe by adding different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for a different flavor profile. Sometimes I toss in sautéed mushrooms for extra richness. For a healthier twist, I use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas, or swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.

Storage/Reheating

Leftover wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I recommend popping them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to keep the tortilla crispy and the cheese melty. You can also microwave them, but the tortilla won’t be as crisp.

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead and keep them in the fridge before cooking. Just cook them fresh in the air fryer when ready.

What type of cheese works best?

Cheddar melts nicely and adds a classic cheeseburger flavor, but you can use any cheese you like, such as American, mozzarella, or pepper jack.

Can I use frozen beef patties?

I prefer fresh ground beef for the best texture, but if using frozen patties, thaw them completely before assembling the wraps.

Are these wraps kid-friendly?

Absolutely! They’re a great way to enjoy cheeseburger flavors in a fun and easy-to-eat wrap that kids usually love.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I don’t recommend freezing fully cooked wraps because the tortilla may become soggy. You can freeze the raw assembled wraps and cook them straight from frozen in the air fryer, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
