Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
  • ½ cup pickles, sliced
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 2–3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1–2 tbsp mustard
  • Cooking spray

Timing

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Form small patties slightly smaller than your tortillas.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a tortilla flat. Add a cooked beef patty in the center.
  2. Top with a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard.
  3. Fold the sides in and roll tightly to form a wrap.

Step 3: Air Fry the Wraps

  1. Lightly spray wraps with cooking oil.
  2. Place in the air fryer basket seam-side down. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Serve

Slice wraps in half and serve immediately with extra ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.


Tips for Success

  • Avoid soggy wraps: Don’t overfill and press the seam tightly.
  • Cheese tips: Use a good melting cheese like cheddar, American, or mozzarella.
  • Add crunch: Sprinkle some crispy onions inside for extra texture.
  • Customize: Add bacon, avocado, or jalapeños for a fun twist.
