Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (Use lean ground beef for best results.)
  • Salt (To taste.)
  • Pepper (To taste.)
  • Garlic powder (To season.)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (Flour tortillas work best for folding.)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese (American cheese melts well for a creamy texture.)
  • pickles (For serving.)
  • diced onions (For serving.)
  • burger sauce (For serving.)

Method
 

  1. Preparation: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Preparation: Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Preparation: Cook the beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned and crispy.
  4. Preparation: Flip the tortilla so the beef is up, sprinkle cheese over the cooked meat, fold the tortilla in half, and grill both sides until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese melts, about 1–2 minutes per side.
  5. Preparation: Slice and serve with pickles, diced onions, or burger sauce.
