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)

- 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
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Form small patties slightly smaller than your tortillas.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat. Add a cooked beef patty in the center.
- Top with a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard.
- Fold the sides in and roll tightly to form a wrap.
Step 3: Air Fry the Wraps
- Lightly spray wraps with cooking oil.
- 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.
