🌯 Cheeseburger Burrito

This Cheeseburger Burrito captures all the classic flavors of a cheeseburger — juicy seasoned beef, melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles — all conveniently wrapped in a warm, flour tortilla. It's a quick, satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights!

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced white onion
• 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
• 2 tbsp butter (for toasting tortillas, optional)
• Ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
2. Season: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes more to meld flavors.
3. Warm tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll.
4. Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat. Add a line of the cooked beef down the center. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup or mustard if desired.
5. Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
6. Optional - Toast: Melt butter in a large skillet. Place the burrito seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
7. Serve warm — excellent with a side of fries, tater tots, or chips and salsa!

Tip: Add cooked rice, black beans, or jalapeños for extra flavor and heartiness. These burritos also freeze well for easy meal prep!
