Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder for seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- Optional toppings: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce
Instructions
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla, making a patty shape.
- Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook the beef side down for 2–3 minutes or until nicely browned.
- Flip each tortilla, sprinkle cheese on the beef and fold the tortilla in half.
- Grill both sides for another 2–3 minutes until crispy and the cheese has melted.
- Slice and serve with your favorite toppings or dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, ensure your skillet is hot enough for a good sear on the beef. Allow the cheese extra time to melt for the best taste.
