Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasonings
- 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Wrap and Fillings
- 5 medium tortilla wraps
- 5 slices American cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (approximately 0.2 cup per wrap)
- Optional: diced onions
Condiments
- Optional: ketchup
- Optional: mustard
- Optional: mayonnaise
- Optional: relish
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add 1 pound (454 g) of lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for about 7 to 10 minutes until almost cooked through but still slightly pink for flavor development.
- Season the Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all flavors evenly.
- Finish Cooking the Beef: Continue cooking the beef mixture until fully cooked and no pink remains, ensuring it is safe and flavorful.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and place one slice of American cheese in the center. Top with approximately 1/3 cup (~80 g) of the cooked beef. Add tomato slices and about 1/5 cup chopped romaine lettuce. Optionally, sprinkle diced onions for added sharpness.
- Add Condiments: Spread ketchup, mustard, and a little mayonnaise on top of the fillings as desired to boost flavor and moisture within the wrap.
- Roll the Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly, keeping fillings centered, and place them seam side down on a preheated indoor grill or grill pan set to medium-high heat.
- Grill First Side: Grill each wrap for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks form and the wrap becomes slightly crunchy.
- Grill Second Side and Melt Cheese: Turn the wraps over and grill another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown grill marks appear, the wrap is crisp when pressed, and the cheese inside is melted.
- Keep Warm: Transfer the grilled wraps to a warming area or low heat oven to keep them warm while finishing the remaining wraps.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) to reduce grease and improve texture.
- Grill the wraps on medium-high heat to achieve crispness without burning the tortilla.
- Feel free to customize toppings with pickles, onions, or your favorite burger condiments.
- For a spicier option, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
- Wraps can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) while other wraps finish grilling.
- Ensure the cheese slice covers the beef to help bind the filling when melted.
