Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup sliced pickles
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 4 large flour tortillas
Special Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely minced pickles (or relish)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the special sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, finely minced pickles, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Chill in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and pepper, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns. Remove excess grease once cooked through, then set aside.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas gently in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable but not crispy, making them easier to wrap.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out each tortilla and spread a generous spoonful of special sauce in the center. Add cooked beef, shredded lettuce, diced onions, sliced pickles, and a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
- Wrap and serve: Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling. Slice each wrap in half if desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce and onions for better texture and flavor.
- Cook beef until browned and no longer pink to keep it juicy and safe to eat.
- Warm tortillas just enough to make them flexible without tearing.
- Make the special sauce a day ahead to deepen its flavor.
- Wrap tightly to prevent fillings from leaking, ensuring easier eating.
