How to Make Snack-Friendly Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps
These Perfect Cheeseburger Wraps combine seasoned ground beef, gooey cheddar, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade sauce—all wrapped in a crisp tortilla thanks to the air fryer. Ideal for quick weeknight dinners, game-day appetizers, or meal prep, they balance convenience with crowd-pleasing flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar
- 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ½ cup dill pickle slices, chopped
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or a light brush of oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped turkey bacon until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
- Add the ground beef to the same skillet, season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until no pink remains, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to make the burger sauce.
- Lay out each tortilla and spread about 1 tablespoon of sauce down the center. Top with a quarter of the beef mixture, a slice of cheddar (or ¼ cup shredded), lettuce, tomato, pickle, and cooked turkey bacon.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla in toward the center, then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Lightly spray or brush each wrap with oil.
- Place wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the tortilla is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
Notes
- Adjust spice levels by tweaking smoked paprika or adding chili powder.
- For a milder version, omit jalapeños and use mild cheddar.
- Leftover fillings make excellent tacos or nacho toppings.
- Experiment with different proteins (chicken, lamb, or plant-based) and cheeses (pepper jack, Swiss).
- Always preheat the air fryer for best texture and monitor cook times closely, as models vary.
