Beef Burger Mince
The star of the show in these wraps is the beef. It’s far too often I see similar recipes to this just browning the beef and be done with it 😩 Dry/bland beef is NOT what we want! (sorry, full beef snobbery right here 🤣). So, in order to get the most out of the beef I firstly recommend getting some good quality beef that’s around 10-12% fat. I find that hits the sweet spot, adding a bit of fatty flavour/texture, but not so much the meat turns out greasy.
Juicy Beef
For juicy beef I like to pour in beef stock & cornflour/cornstarch whilst the beef is frying. Once you reduce it down, this will coat the beef in a nice ‘gloss’ which ensures it doesn’t dry out.
Flavour
The beef stock will inject flavour, but alongside this I add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and s&p. Nothing too extravagant, but helps the beef hold it’s own in the wraps.
Making Cheeseburger Wraps
Right, beef done, let’s talk wraps. You’ll need 4 large flour tortilla wraps and some classic burger fillings. Here’s what I use/recommend:
Cheeseburger Wrap Ingredients
Bacon – Where there’s burger, there’s always bacon. I recommend streaky bacon and cooked to preference. Cheese – I use American/Burger Cheese. Obviously not the best quality cheese you could use but a fairly classic choice! Burger Sauce – Classic burger sauce is always my go-to. Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle & Onion – All finely diced/shredded for ease of roll.
When it comes to rolling the wraps, I prefer to roll them as if they were burritos. Reason being is if you roll it like a normal wrap the beef goes all over the place. Burrito style keeps everything intact.

Cheeseburger Burritos
From there you can eat right away as a wrap, or, cook like a burrito. I usually place them on a griddle pan on high heat and rotate slowly until nicely charred.
Baked Cheeseburger Burritos
You could also bake them. Just wrap in foil and bake in the oven at 180C/356F until crispy and cooked through (15-20mins).
Can I make these ahead of time?
You sure can! In all cases just make sure you cool the meat before you make the wraps (or they’ll steam and go soggy in the fridge). If you want to eat them just as wraps just wrap and store in the fridge until ready to eat. If you want to cook them as burritos either grill at a slightly lower heat or add 10mins on to baking time.
What to serve with cheeseburger wraps?
Baked French Fries Potato Wedges Sweet Potato Fries Beer Battered Onion Rings Avocado Fries
These are pretty filling though so don’t feel like you need a side. You can also ditch the wraps and serve this as a cheeseburger salad too!
