- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Grill the Patties:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Place a grilled cheeseburger patty in the center of each tortilla.
- Top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles, if desired.
- Drizzle with ketchup and mustard, or your favorite burger sauce.
- Wrap It Up:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Tortilla Wrapping: To prevent the tortilla from tearing, warm it slightly before wrapping.
- Flavor Boost: Add a slice of crispy bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
