Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 2 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 4 slices American cheese

  • ¼ cup diced pickles

  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes (optional)

  • 4 large flour tortillas

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

Directions

  1. Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat.

  2. Season the Beef: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then, add the ketchup and mustard and mix until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a slice of American cheese in the center of each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the ground beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, pickles, and diced tomatoes (if using). Fold the sides of the tortilla in and then roll it up tightly into a wrap.

  4. Air Fry the Wraps: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the wraps in the air fryer basket, seam side down, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces like extra ketchup, mustard, or even ranch.

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 4 wraps

  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Variations

  • Vegetarian Version: Replace the ground beef with a plant-based meat substitute for a vegetarian option.

  • Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

  • Cheese Lovers: Use different types of cheese, such as provolone, mozzarella, or pepper jack, for a unique twist.

  • Add Bacon: Include crispy bacon bits for an extra layer of flavor.

  • BBQ Version: Swap the ketchup for BBQ sauce for a smoky, tangy taste.

Storage/Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: To reheat, place the wraps back in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until heated through and crispy again. You can also microwave them for 30-45 seconds, though they won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of meat for these wraps?

Yes, you can use turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based substitute for the ground beef if you prefer.

2. Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook them. This can save time on busy nights.

3. Can I use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Yes, whole wheat tortillas are a great substitute if you're looking for a healthier option.

4. Can I make these wraps without ketchup and mustard?

Absolutely! You can leave them out or substitute them with your favorite sauce, such as BBQ sauce or ranch.

5. Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled wraps before cooking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, air fry directly from frozen.

6. Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

Yes, preheating the air fryer ensures that the wraps cook evenly and get crispy on the outside.

7. Can I add other veggies to the wraps?

Definitely! You can add onions, bell peppers, or lettuce for more crunch and flavor.

8. What dipping sauces go well with these wraps?

Ketchup, mustard, ranch dressing, or even a creamy sriracha sauce would complement these wraps perfectly.

9. How can I ensure the wraps stay crispy?

Make sure not to overfill the wraps, and give them enough space in the air fryer basket to cook evenly. Flipping them halfway through the cooking time also helps achieve an even crisp.

10. Can I cook these wraps in the oven instead of the air fryer?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
