Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to season)
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
Optional: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce for serving
Instructions
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook the beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned.
- Flip the tortilla, sprinkle cheese on top, then fold it in half.
- Grill both sides until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve with optional toppings like pickles, onions, or burger sauce.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheeses such as Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
- Add toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or extra condiments for a burger-style twist.
- Use plant-based meat and dairy-free cheese for a vegan version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy.
