Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
Cheese and Vegetables:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) finely chopped onion
- Dill pickle slices (optional)
Wrap and Cooking Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) onion powder
Instructions
- Craft the signature sauce by whisking mayonnaise, diced pickles, mustard, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small mixing bowl until the mixture reaches a silky, uniform consistency.
- Refrigerate the prepared sauce to allow flavors to meld while preparing the remaining components.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat (375°F), adding olive oil to create a light cooking surface.
- Sauté finely chopped onions until translucent and softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking the meat into fine crumbles and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef mixture for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat browns completely and loses its raw pink color.
- Drain excess fat from the cooked beef to ensure a cleaner, lighter wrap.
- Gently warm tortillas for 15-20 seconds to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Spread a generous layer of the chilled special sauce across each tortilla’s surface.
- Layer the seasoned beef evenly over the sauce, followed by crisp shredded lettuce, sharp cheddar cheese, and tangy pickle slices.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll tightly to create a compact, secure wrap.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately for optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Customize the special sauce by adjusting the ratios of ingredients to suit personal taste preferences.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and create a healthier version of the wrap.
- Opt for whole wheat tortillas to increase fiber and nutritional value.
- Try alternative protein options like turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for dietary variety.
