Golden air-fried cheeseburger wraps sliced in half and served with dipping sauce on a plate

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
4 large 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American)
1/4 cup pickles, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

Step-by-Step

Brown the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned—about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess fat if needed.
Prepare Fillings
Lay out your flour tortillas. On each tortilla, sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheese in the center. Top with a generous spoonful of the browned beef, then divide the diced onions and pickles evenly among the wraps.
Wrap Up the Goodness
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll up tightly, burrito-style, to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down while you finish the rest.
Air Fry to Perfection
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the wraps in a single layer (you may need to air fry in batches). Spray the tops of the wraps and air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 5-6 minutes. Flip and air fry another 4-5 minutes, or until tortillas are crisp and golden.
Serve and Enjoy
Remove carefully and let cool just enough to eat. Slice in half and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

What to Serve Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps With

Round out this easy meal with crispy air fryer fries or a fresh green salad for balance. For a classic diner feel, add a pile of coleslaw or a side of baked onion rings. Kids will love dunking their wraps in ketchup, ranch, or a homemade burger sauce. For drinks, try a frosty glass of lemonade or a simple iced tea—perfect for washing down all that cheesy goodness.

Top Tips for Perfecting

Don’t Overfill: Keep fillings modest to ensure the wraps stay closed and crisp nicely.
Cheese Choices: Mix cheddar and American for maximum meltiness, or swap in pepper jack for a little heat.
Want it lighter? Use ground turkey or lean ground beef for a healthier option.
Mind the Air Fryer: Avoid overcrowding. Fry in batches if needed so wraps get perfectly golden all over.
Extra Flavor: Add a swipe of mustard or burger sauce inside each wrap for a tangy kick.
Common Mistakes: Make sure tortillas are fresh for best folding. Overcooking can dry out the wraps—so check at the minimum time!

Storing and Reheating Tips

These wraps keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator—just wrap in foil or store in an airtight container. To reheat, place directly in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and crisp. You can also microwave, but air frying gives the best texture. To freeze, wrap cooled cheeseburger wraps individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the air fryer.

FAQs

Can I use different meats for the filling?

Absolutely! Try ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based meat substitute for variety and to fit your preferences.

Are these wraps spicy?

Not unless you want them to be! They’re kid-friendly as written, but you can always add jalapenos, hot sauce, or spicy cheese for extra kick.

Can I prep these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the wraps up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Air fry just before serving for best crispiness.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Simply use your favorite gluten-free tortillas; all other ingredients are naturally gluten-free!

What dipping sauces go well with these wraps?

Classic burger sauces like ketchup, mustard, ranch, or a creamy garlic dip are all delicious choices.
