Pickle Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps (Print Version)

Beef, bacon, cheddar, and pickles wrapped in tortillas deliver bold flavors in every portable bite.

# Components:

→ Meats

01 - 500 g ground beef (80/20 lean ratio)
02 - 8 slices bacon

→ Dairy

03 - 4 slices cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise

→ Vegetables & Pickles

05 - 8 dill pickle spears
06 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
08 - 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

→ Condiments

09 - 2 tbsp ketchup
10 - 2 tbsp yellow mustard

→ Bread Wraps

11 - 4 large flour tortillas (25 cm / 10 inch diameter)

→ Seasonings

12 - 1 tsp salt
13 - ½ tsp black pepper
14 - ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until perfectly crisp. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and reserve for assembly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika. Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval patty, sized to fit within the tortillas.
03 - Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until thoroughly browned and cooked to your desired doneness. During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese atop each patty to melt.
04 - Lightly warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to enhance their pliability.
05 - Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto the interior of each warmed tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce and sliced tomato. Center one cheesy beef patty on top of the vegetables.
06 - Top each patty with two pickle spears, two slices of bacon, a few rings of thinly sliced red onion, and finish with a drizzle of ketchup and mustard.
07 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to fully enclose the ingredients into a wrap.
08 - For an enhanced texture, place the assembled wraps seam-side down in the skillet used for cooking and toast for 2–3 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
09 - Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.

  • When rolling the tortillas, fold in the sides first then roll from the bottom up, keeping everything tight but not so tight that fillings squeeze out.
  • If serving later, wrap completed burgers in parchment paper then aluminum foil to maintain heat and structure. The parchment prevents the foil from sticking to melted cheese or condiments.
