Ingredients for Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps
Gather the following ingredients to create these delightful wraps:
- For the Burger Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for extra juiciness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or your choice)
- 4-6 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, or your favorite burger sauces
- For the Wrap:
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying the wraps)
Directions for Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps
1. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Cook the Beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef mixture, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
3. Add Cheese and Bacon:
- Once the beef is cooked, add the chopped bacon and cheese slices to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
- Place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the cheesy bacon beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Add any optional toppings you desire, then fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
5. Fry the Wraps:
- In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing them in half. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, extra toppings, or sides.
Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Tips for Making the Best Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps
- Don’t Overcook the Beef: Aim for medium doneness to keep the beef juicy and flavorful.
- Crispy Bacon: For the best texture, use crispy bacon. You can bake it in the oven or fry it in a skillet until golden.
- Wrap Variations: Try using different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat, spinach, or even corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeños or a spicy sauce to the beef mixture for a kick.
Storage and Leftovers
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet to regain their crispy texture.
- Freezing: You can freeze the assembled, uncooked wraps. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
Pairing Suggestions
Cheesy Bacon Burger Wraps pair wonderfully with:
- French Fries: A classic side that complements the wraps perfectly.
- Coleslaw: Add a crunchy, refreshing side for a balanced meal.
- Dipping Sauces: Serve with ranch, barbecue sauce, or ketchup for added flavor.
