Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 large burrito-sized tortillas
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, chopped
- ¼ cup ketchup or barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded (or cheddar, or a mixture)
How to make cheeseburger wraps
- Preheat a griddle to medium or medium-low. In one section, heat 1 tablespoon oil and add the diced onion and yellow pepper. Season with half the garlic salt and half the fresh ground pepper. After 5 minutes, add 1 tablespoon butter and continue to sauté for 10–15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the onions and peppers are soft and caramelized.
- In another section of the griddle, warm a little oil and butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Season with the remaining garlic salt and pepper. Brown the beef for about 10 minutes, turning regularly, until no pink remains. Transfer cooked beef to a bowl.
- Lay out the burrito-sized tortillas. Down the center of each, place a line of ground beef, then the sautéed onions and peppers, chopped iceberg lettuce, and a drizzle of ketchup or barbecue sauce. Top with about 1/4 cup shredded cheese per wrap. Fold the sides and roll each tortilla like a burrito; secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Return the griddle section used for the onions and peppers to medium heat and, if necessary, add a little more butter. Grill the wrapped burritos on both sides until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks before serving.
- Slice each wrap in half and enjoy warm.

Notes
For best results, cook the onions and peppers until they develop color and sweetness. Swap cheeses to taste; Gruyere adds a creamy, slightly nutty flavor.
