ByRita Bennet December 14, 2025December 14, 2025

Introduction

These air fryer cheeseburger wraps combine the classic flavors of a cheeseburger in a convenient, handheld form. Crisp on the outside and packed with savory beef, melted cheese, and tangy pickles, they make a delicious and quick meal for any day of the week.

Two folded tortillas stacked on a wooden board, each filled with three visible layers; the bottom layer is green pickles with smooth, shiny texture, the middle layer is bright red diced tomatoes, and the top layer is melted yellow cheddar cheese covering browned ground beef with a crumbly texture. The tortillas are toasted with light golden brown spots and slightly crisp edges. The background shows a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas

4 slices American cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon ketchup
16 pickle slices

1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, breaking up the meat as it browns, until it’s no longer pink. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20-25 seconds to make them soft and pliable for easy wrapping.

Step 3: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on each one. Add 4 pickle slices, 1 slice of cheese, and about 1/2 cup of the cooked ground beef to each tortilla.
Step 4: Fold the bottom of each tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly to create a burrito-style wrap. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
Step 5: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Place the wraps seam-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6: Let the wraps cool for a minute or two (the filling will be hot!), then cut in half if you like and enjoy while they’re still warm and crispy.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add diced onions or cooked bacon inside the wrap before air frying.
Use pepper jack or cheddar cheese instead of American for a different cheese twist.

Try adding a few leaves of fresh lettuce inside after cooking for some crunch.
Brush wraps with garlic butter instead of plain melted butter for a richer taste.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350°F until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the exterior crisp.

How to Serve

Two halves of a wrap stacked on each other, each showing three visible layers: soft light brown tortilla on the outside, a thick layer of cooked ground beef with a crumbly texture in the middle, and bright melted yellow cheese along with green pickles and bits of red pepper inside. The wrap edges have slight grill marks, and the whole scene is on a dark wooden surface with a soft blurry background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative. Just be sure to cook it fully and season well to maintain flavor.
