Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the beef filling:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the special sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons grated onion
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon pickle relish
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

For assembling:

• 4 small flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced onions
• 1/4 cup chopped pickles
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes

Directions

1. Begin by making the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated onion, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, and paprika until smooth and creamy. Place the sauce in the refrigerator while preparing the rest of the recipe so the flavors can blend together.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks.
3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Season the beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until the beef is fully coated in seasoning.
4. Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling.
5. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the homemade sauce onto each tortilla.
6. Add shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, sliced onions, chopped pickles, and diced tomatoes evenly over the tortillas.
7. Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the toppings.
8. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly into wraps. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
9. Serve immediately while warm. You can also toast the wraps in a skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a crispy exterior.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, store the sauce and beef separately from the fresh toppings and tortillas.

To reheat, place the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 1 minute, although the tortillas may become softer.

The cooked beef mixture can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
