Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Components

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
• 4 slices American cheese

Condiments and Toppings

• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 16 sliced pickles
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Seasonings

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Ingredient Tips

• Use lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15) for juicy but not greasy filling.
• Flour tortillas are easy to fold and crisp up perfectly in the air fryer.
• American cheese melts smoothly, but you can substitute cheddar or Swiss.
• Dill pickles add a classic tang, but bread and butter pickles work if you prefer a sweeter taste.

You can also customize the condiments with mustard, BBQ sauce, or spicy mayo for extra flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef.
Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook, breaking up the meat, until fully browned and no longer pink.
Drain excess grease and set the beef aside.

2. Warm the Tortillas
Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate.
Cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.

Microwave for 20 to 25 seconds until they are warm and pliable.
This makes them easier to roll without cracking.

3. Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup onto each tortilla.

Add 4 pickle slices near the center.
Place 1 slice of American cheese over the pickles.
Spoon about 1/2 cup of the cooked ground beef over the cheese.

4. Wrap the Tortillas
Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly like a burrito.
Brush the tops of each wrap lightly with melted butter to help them crisp up.

5. Air Fry the Wraps
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

Brush with additional melted butter if desired for extra flavor and shine.

6. Serve
Let the wraps cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing in half, if desired.

Serve hot with extra pickles, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

How to Serve Them Perfectly

Cheeseburger Wraps are great on their own, but they pair well with classic burger sides.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with air fryer fries, sweet potato fries, or a side salad
• Offer dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, or honey mustard
• Add a side of coleslaw or potato salad for a more filling meal
• Serve with extra pickle slices and fresh tomato wedges

Perfect for lunchboxes, quick dinners, or even a casual party appetizer.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

To store leftovers
Cool the wraps completely.
Wrap individually in foil or place in an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

To reheat
Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
You can also microwave, but the tortilla will be softer.

To freeze
Wrap uncooked assembled wraps tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag.
Freeze for up to 2 months.

To cook from frozen
Air fry directly from frozen at 360°F for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Make-ahead tip
Cook the beef and assemble the wraps ahead of time.
Store wrapped in the fridge and air fry fresh when ready to eat.

These variations allow you to switch up the flavors while keeping the easy, crispy wrap format.
