Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger Tortilla Wrap Recipe

Introduction

This Garlic Butter Beef Cheeseburger is a flavorful twist on the classic burger, wrapped in warm flour tortillas instead of buns. Loaded with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and infused with garlic butter, it’s a delicious and easy meal to satisfy your cravings.

Two golden brown, toasted wraps lie side by side on a wooden board with a small pile of green leafy herbs in the background. Each wrap is cut open to show three main layers inside: a soft white flour tortilla on the outside, a middle layer of melted bright orange cheddar cheese, and a thick layer of cooked beef with a rich brown color mixed with bits of vibrant green herbs. The outside of the wraps is shiny and slightly crispy, with some areas showing darker toasted spots. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Form the beef mixture into four evenly sized patties and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
  3. Step 3: During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over each patty. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a separate pan or microwave. Then brush each tortilla generously with the garlic butter mixture on both sides.
  6. Step 6: Place each cheesy beef patty onto a garlic buttered tortilla. Add optional sliced pickles for garnish, then wrap the tortilla around the patty to form a burger wrap.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the garlic butter adds extra flavor and moisture.

Tips & Variations

  • For a smoky kick, add a dash of chipotle powder to the beef mixture.
  • Try swapping cheddar and mozzarella with pepper jack for added spice.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
  • If you prefer a crispier shell, toast the garlic buttered tortilla on a dry skillet before wrapping.

Storage

Store any leftover cheeseburgers wrapped in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore the garlic butter flavor and keep the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving, as the tortilla may become soggy.

How to Serve

Two golden brown, crispy baked rolls lay side by side on a wooden board, each cut in half to reveal three visible layers inside. The outer layer is a shiny, flaky pastry with a warm, toasted color. Beneath this is a bright orange, gooey melted cheese melting slightly over the edges. The innermost layer shows dark brown, juicy cooked ground beef mixed with small bits of green herbs near the bottom. The background has a soft focus with hints of green parsley on the side, all set against a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Patty Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Garlic Butter

  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional: sliced pickles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic. Set this flavorful garlic butter aside for later use.
  2. Mix the Beef Patties: In a mixing bowl, add the ground beef along with Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until all the seasonings are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the patties tender.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions and shape each into flat, round patties slightly larger than your tortillas to ensure even cooking and good coverage.
  4. Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of each patty, allowing them to melt.
  5. Prepare the Tortillas: While the patties are cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the Burgers: Brush each warmed tortilla with the prepared garlic butter. Place a cheesy beef patty on top of each tortilla, then add sliced pickles if desired for extra flavor.
  7. Serve: Fold or roll the tortillas around the patties and serve immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor in the garlic butter.
  • Adjust seasoning on the beef patties to your preference, adding more or less salt and spices as desired.
  • For a lower-carb option, substitute the flour tortillas with lettuce wraps.
  • Adding sliced pickles is optional but adds a nice tangy contrast to the richness of the burger.
  • Ensure the pan is hot before adding patties to get a good sear and lock in juices.
