Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80–90% lean)
- 1/2 small onion, finely diced (optional)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1–2 tsp pickle brine (optional for “burger tang”)
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch), warmed
- 4 slices American cheese (or 3/4 cup shredded cheddar)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 8–12 dill pickle chips
- Cooking spray or a little oil
Burger sauce (optional): 2 tbsp mayo + 1 tbsp ketchup + 1 tsp mustard + 1 tsp relish + pinch paprika.
Step-by-step
- Cook beef. Brown ground beef (and onion if using) over medium-high, 5–6 minutes. Drain.
- Season. Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and pickle brine. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy. Cool 2 minutes.
- Preheat. Heat air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
- Build wraps. Warm tortillas. Add 1 slice cheese to center, spoon on beef, then lettuce and pickles.
- Roll tight. Fold sides in, then roll up burrito‑style. Lightly oil outside.
- Air fry. Place seam‑side down with space between. Cook 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until tortillas are blistered and golden and cheese is melted.
- Serve. Halve diagonally and dip in burger sauce.
Tips for best results
- For extra melt, add half the cheese under and half over the beef.
- Crispier shell: brush with a little butter or oil before frying.
- Make‑ahead: assemble, refrigerate up to 8 hours; air fry 7–9 minutes from cold.
Variations
- Bacon cheeseburger: add cooked bacon and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
- Big Mac‑style: swap burger sauce for thousand island and add chopped onions.
- Lighter: use 93% lean turkey; add a splash of beef broth for juiciness.
- Spicy: add jalapeños and pepper jack.
Storage and reheating
- Fridge: 3 days in an airtight container.
- Reheat: air fryer 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
- Freeze: wrap individually, freeze up to 2 months; reheat 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
Serving ideas
Serve with baked fries, air‑fried tater tots, or a simple tomato‑cucumber salad.
