Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 450 g / 1 lb ground beef
- 8 slices bacon
Bread and Wrap:
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Toppings and Seasonings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup chopped lettuce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger pickles
Instructions
- Thoroughly mix ground beef with salt and black pepper in a large mixing bowl, ensuring even seasoning distribution.
- Divide the seasoned meat into 4 equal portions and shape into compact patties, creating a slight indentation in the center to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, sear burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side at medium-high heat, aiming for a perfect medium doneness with a slightly pink center.
- Crumble the crispy bacon and set aside for later garnishing.
- Brush tortillas with olive oil and warm them in a separate pan for 30 seconds on each side, creating a light golden and flexible wrap.
- Layer each tortilla with a cooked burger patty, sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese, and allow the heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Top the cheese-covered patties with diced onions, chopped lettuce, and crumbled bacon pieces.
- Drizzle ketchup and mustard across the burger, then strategically place burger pickles for an extra tangy kick.
- Carefully fold the tortillas around the fillings, creating a secure and compact burger wrap.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Handling Ground Beef: Gently mix meat to prevent overworking, which can make burgers tough and dense.
- Perfect Patty Shaping: Create a slight thumb indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking and prevent bulging.
- Bacon Crispiness Trick: Pat bacon with paper towels after cooking to remove excess grease, maintaining a satisfying crunch.
- Tortilla Warming Technique: Brush with olive oil for enhanced flavor and flexibility, preventing cracking when folding.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Let the hot patty sit directly on cheese for a quick, smooth melt without additional heating.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Replace tortilla with large lettuce leaves for a lighter, keto-friendly version.
