Introduction

There’s something special about biting into a wrap that’s crispy on the outside, loaded with juicy seasoned beef, melty cheese, and a little tang from pickles inside. The first time I made these Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps, my kitchen smelled like a diner on a Friday night. I remember my kids running in, eyes wide, asking if we were having burgers for dinner. And honestly? It’s even better than that.

Think of this recipe as the love child of a classic cheeseburger and a toasted quesadilla. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for when you want the flavors of a burger without firing up the grill. Plus, the air fryer gives the tortilla that perfect golden crunch without drowning it in oil.

If you’re a fan of creative comfort food, you’ll love these as much as we love making Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs — both are all about rich flavors and melty cheese goodness.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 4 slices American cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)

• 1 cup diced pickles

• 1 medium tomato, diced

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp mustard

• Cooking spray for air fryer

Directions

1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard until smooth.

3. Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of the sauce, then add a portion of beef, shredded cheddar, diced pickles, and tomatoes. Top with a slice of American cheese.

4. Fold and Seal: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

5. Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place wraps seam-side down, spray tops lightly, and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

6. Serve: Slice in half and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Cheese Swap: Try pepper jack for a spicy twist.

• Veggie Boost: Add sautéed onions or bell peppers to the filling.

• Low-Carb Option: Use low-carb tortillas.

• Meal Prep: Cook the beef in advance and assemble wraps when ready to air fry.
