Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy to prepare. These tasty burger wraps come together in less than 30 minutes, making them perfect for busy weeknights.
- Delicious. This burger wrap is juicy, full of flavor, and will curb any fast food cheeseburger craving!
- Healthy. Everything you love about burgers but without guilt! They are high in protein to fill you up!
- Make-ahead. Preparing the beef filling ahead of time, bring these cheeseburger wraps super fast.
Ingredients
- Lean ground beef. You will get the best results using high-quality organic grass-fed beef. I use 93/7 for a lower fat option, you can use 85/15 ground beef, but that will render more grease after it cooks. I recommend removing as much grease as possible before putting the wraps together.
- Worcestershire sauce. This gives ground beef a rich meaty flavor.
- Ketchup. A little bit goes a long way to give this filling a tasty burger flavor.
- Grated parmesan. Adds another layer of cheese flavor to this cheeseburger wrap filling.
- Spices. Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper season the ground beef perfectly.
- Tortilla wraps. A medium-sized wrap is perfect for holding all the burger wrap ingredients while still keeping it portion-controlled.
- American cheese. Any cheese will work in these wraps, but American cheese will give it that classic fast-food burger taste.
- Tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. These veggies are optional but, in my opinion, mandatory for the quintessential burger recipe! Also, if you grill the cheeseburger wrap, they go in the wrap beforehand. Trust me; it’s fantastic.
- Condiments. Everything you love on a hamburger can go in this wrap; we love ketchup, mustard, relish, and even mayonnaise. And, yes, these go in before you grill it. Of course, measure out the condiments to keep the calories under control.
How to Make a Cheeseburger Wrap
In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the beef on medium heat until almost cooked through but still a little pink (about 7-10 minutes). Break beef up as it cooks.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, grated parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Continue cooking the meat mixture until the beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
In the center of the wrap, place a slice of cheese and 1/3 cup or so of the beef mixture. Add tomato and lettuce.
Then if you are using, and I highly recommend, add some ketchup, mustard, and a little mayo on top of the meat.
Roll up and place seam side down on a preheated indoor grill for about 3-4 minutes or until there are grill marks.
Once there are grill marks, turn the wrap over. Grill for another 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat, remove the wrap from the grill, and set aside. Continue with the rest of the wraps.
Supplies
- Large skillet
- Lodge grill pan
Serving suggestions.
These are our favorite side dishes to serve with grilled cheeseburger wraps.
- Steamed vegetables. I like to keep it easy by purchasing frozen “steam” in bag veggies,
- Roasted asparagus, roasted broccoli, or these Italian roasted vegetables are delicious.
- Roasted ranch potatoes or Italian roasted potatoes are perfect when you want a burger and fries feel.
- Greek Quinoa Salad, Mexican Quinoa Salad, Pesto Pasta Salad, Caprese Salad with Cherry Tomatoes are tasty to serve on the side.
Cooking tips
- If you don’t have a grill pan, you can cook these burger wraps in a large frying pan.
- You can also fold over the tortilla like a quesadilla instead of rolling. Sometimes I do this when I’m making it larger for my husband.
- Grilling these cheeseburger wraps is scrumptious, but you don’t have to break the grill pan out; they are tasty without the grilled crunch.
Substitutions
- You can swap in ground turkey for beef for a lower-fat option. Or, if you want a vegetarian option, swap in your favorite plant-based crumbles.
- You can use low-carb wraps, gluten-free wraps, or any wrap – they all work great so use your favorite.
- Skip the tortilla altogether and serve the beef filling in a lettuce wrap.
- The filling options are endless with these cheeseburger wraps. Some examples are onions, sauteed mushrooms, jalapenos, pickles, and avocados.
- Ketchup and mustard are the classic hamburger sauces, but you can swap in bbq sauce, ranch, blue cheese dressing, or get creative.
- Switching out the cheese is another way to change the flavor of this burger wrap recipe. Cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, gouda cheese, swiss cheese, and mozzarella cheese are all great options.
Storage Tips
For the week: This recipe comes together quickly when you make the ground beef filling ahead of time; after you cook the filling, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate. On cooking day, warm up the meat before making the wraps.
For the freezer: You can freeze the filling to use in future recipes; after the filling cools, store it in an airtight container or freezer bag, label it, and freeze it. If you remember, take the beef filling out the night before to thaw in the fridge. On cooking day, warm up the beef before making the wraps.

Marie says
if you wanted to make them on a regular grill you could just wrap them in foil first so they would fall apart (I usually also do this on my george forman so I dont need to clean it when I’m done!)
Jen says
I made these for supper tonight and they were a HUGE hit!!!!! YUMMY!!! 🙂
Tammy says
SO glad your family loved these! They are a favorite for us too. SOmetimes I take the meat and mix into a baked mac n cheese for hamburger mac n cheese. My girls love it!
Ashley says
Any suggestions for healthy side dishes to serve with this? I am trying to make a change to some healthier options for my family and I, including two kids (5 & 4). This looks delish! But instead of the normal french fries or chips… any other ideas? Maybe sweet potato oven baked fries?
Tammy says
This is a pretty hardy meal so I typically will serve a salad with it. However, sweet potato baked fries sound really good too! Let me know what you decide.
Kelly Griffith says
I just made these for supper and they were DELICIOUS!!! Great recipe…will for sure be making these again! 🙂
Tammy says
Hi Kelly so glad you liked! These are one of our family favorites.
Alex Sgambato says
My girlfriend and I love this recipe. We’re not big on ground beef so we changed it to ground turkey or chicken and it still tastes awesome!!
Tammy says
Thanks for the comments and recipe suggestions – they sound delish!!
Meghan says
Made these tonight and they are very yummy!! Definitely curbed my craving for a burger. A little messy with the burger crumbles falling out the back, however I can fiddle with the tortilla size or filling amount next time. I didn’t try the lettuce and tomato grilled inside but now I wish I did! Next time…
Tammy says
Maybe try rolling it burrito style with the ends folded in. That seems to help me. I love this with the tomato and lettuce. I also love pickles and/or relish…mmmm.
Jessica says
Thanks for the recipe!! It’s easy, cheap, and tastes good – I liked it so much that I had to blog about it. 😉
Tammy says
This is one of our favorites as well. So happy you like it!
Kristy says
This is fantastic!! Made with a side dish of Quinoa with Mushrooms… Yum 🙂
Deane says
Finally tried these tonight. They were a hit- even my kids (8 and 4) ate dinner. And my 4yr old was eating just the meat while I was making the wraps. Yay!
Tammy says
That is fantastic! So glad your family loved them. This is definitely a favorite in my house too.
Queen of the House says
What a FABULOUS idea! I don’t have an indoor grill like yours, but I’ve used my George Foreman Grill as a panini press before, and I think it will work for this too!
angie says
delicious love this type of food when on the go easy to take along
Stephanie says
Wow, we had these for dinner last night and they were such a hit! I actually added a “big mac” sauce. Mixed 1 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp of relish and onion flakes. Not a lot of added calories and fat as I split this over all of the wraps. Family LOVED it! Thanks so much.
Tammy says
I am so glad you like them. I love your addition. I will try that next time.
Kelly says
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I featured this recipe on my blog. I made these the other night and they were a total hit! We loved them and I will be putting this recipe in my regular rotation. Thanks so much!

Grilled Cheeseburger Wrap
August 9, 2011 By Tammy Kresge
when Freezing these do you omit the lettuce??
Tammy Kresge says
yes I would not add lettuce to it
Caren with a "C" says
I was in the mood for a burger last night too. Love the wrap idea! I always have a problem with the bun falling apart anyways and it being too big once you stack everything to get it into your mouth. The wrap would solve those problems! My son likes to get his burger at In-N-Out wrapped in iceberg lettuce instead of a bun. Have you tried that?
Tammy says
I have not tried that but it sounds great!! Almost like a pigs in a blanket. Yum!
