🌯 Cheeseburger Burrito

This **Cheeseburger Burrito** packs all the classic flavors of a cheeseburger — juicy beef, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles — all wrapped in a warm tortilla. It's a quick, satisfying meal that's 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 skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
2. Season: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes more.
3. Warm tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat. Add a line of beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup or mustard if desired.
5. Wrap: Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom.
6. Optional - Toast: Melt butter in a skillet and toast the burrito seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.
7. Serve warm — great with fries or tater tots!

Tip: Add a spoonful of cooked rice or black beans for a heartier burrito. These also freeze well for meal prep!
