Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas
For Serving
- Ketchup, as desired
- Mustard, as desired
- Optional: pickles
- Optional: lettuce
- Optional: tomato slices
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for cooking the wraps evenly and quickly.
- Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onions together until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness.
- Season the Beef: Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked beef mixture. Stir well so the seasonings are evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the seasoned beef mixture among them, spreading it out in the center of each tortilla.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef in each tortilla to give a rich, melty texture after cooking.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a wrap. Make sure the filling is secure inside to prevent spilling.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the wraps seam side down in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook multiple batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook Until Crispy: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, until the tortillas become crispy and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and serve them warm with ketchup, mustard, and optional toppings such as pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices for a complete cheeseburger experience.
Notes
- Be sure not to overfill the tortillas as it may cause them to burst during air frying.
- Draining excess fat from the cooked beef helps keep the wraps from becoming soggy.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the wraps in batches to ensure even crisping.
- You can customize toppings like adding pickles, lettuce, or tomato on the side as preferred.
- To make the wraps spicier, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
