Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ½ cup diced pickles
- ¼ cup diced onion
Instructions
- Sauce Preparation: Blend mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika into a silky, vibrant sauce. Chill in refrigerator to harmonize and intensify flavors.
- Meat Transformation: In a sizzling skillet over medium-high heat, disperse ground beef while seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Methodically break down meat, ensuring complete caramelization and no remaining pink regions. Eliminate excess fat to maintain structural integrity.
- Wrap Assembly: Unfold tortilla and lavishly spread chilled sauce across center. Strategically layer seasoned beef, crisp lettuce, melted cheese, tangy pickles, and sharp onions to create a flavor-packed landscape.
- Wrapping and Toasting: Envelope tortilla by folding sides inward, rolling tightly to secure ingredients. Transform wrap in a heated skillet, positioning seam-side down and toasting until achieving a golden, crunchy exterior.
- Serving Presentation: Slice wrap diagonally to showcase intricate layers. Plate immediately with complementary sauce for optional dipping, capturing peak temperature and textural experience.
Notes
- Sauce Preparation Tip: Refrigerate sauce for at least 30 minutes before using to enhance flavor complexity and allow ingredients to blend perfectly.
- Beef Cooking Technique: Break ground beef into small, uniform crumbles to ensure even cooking and prevent large meat clumps that disrupt wrap texture.
- Wrap Rolling Strategy: Fold tortilla sides inward tightly and roll with gentle pressure to prevent ingredient spillage and maintain structural integrity during eating.
- Dietary Modification Option: Substitute ground beef with plant-based crumbles or grilled chicken for alternative protein versions, keeping sauce and overall preparation method consistent.
