Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties and Onions
- 1 pound ground beef, preferably 80/20
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon oil
Wrap and Toppings
- 4 large flour tortillas, about 10 inches each
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
Burger Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it is very hot to ensure a good sear on the beef patties.
- Make Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle relish, mixing well to create a creamy, tangy burger sauce.
- Divide Beef: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal loose balls for even patties. Add a little oil to the skillet if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook Onion and Smash Patties: Place thin piles of sliced onion on the hot skillet, then set a beef portion over each mound. Smash firmly with a spatula to create very thin patties that incorporate the onions.
- Season and Cook: Season the smashed patties with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are browned and crisp, then flip carefully.
- Add Cheese: Immediately top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook on the second side until the cheese melts.
- Assemble Wraps: Spread the burger sauce evenly over each tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, one cheesy smashed patty with onions, and a handful of crispy fried onions on top.
- Toast Wraps: Fold each tortilla into a wrap. Place seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Let the wraps rest for 1 minute, then slice if desired and serve hot for a delicious, handheld burger experience.
Notes
- The smash technique creates a crispy, caramelized crust on the patties for maximum flavor.
- Using thinly sliced onions under the patties adds sweetness and moisture without overpowering the beef.
- Any flour tortilla size around 10 inches works well to hold the fillings without being too bulky.
- Crispy fried onions add a delightful crunch and contrast in texture.
- To keep wraps warm before serving, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F) for a few minutes.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise and leaner ground beef.
