Ingredients

Scale

For the Burger Patties and Toppings

1 pound ground beef, preferably 80/20
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 cup crispy fried onions
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup sliced pickles
1 tablespoon oil

For the Burger Sauce

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish

For Assembly

4 large flour tortillas, about 10 inches each

Instructions

Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot to ensure a good sear on the smash burgers.
Make the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle relish. Mix well and set aside for assembly.
Divide the Beef: Portion the ground beef into 4 equal loose balls to prepare for smashing into patties.
Prepare the Patties with Onions: Add oil to the skillet if necessary. Place thin piles of the sliced onions on the hot skillet, set each beef portion over the onions, and smash firmly with a spatula until very thin. This method caramelizes the onions beneath the patty, infusing flavor.
Season and Cook: Season the patties with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottoms are browned and crisp.
Flip and Add Cheese: Flip each patty, then top immediately with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook until the cheese melts and the patty is cooked through.
Assemble the Wraps: Spread the prepared burger sauce over each flour tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, one cheesy smashed patty with onions, and crispy fried onions onto the tortilla.
Fold and Crisp: Fold each tortilla into a wrap, placing the seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the wrap is golden and crisp, helping everything bind together.
Serve: Let the wraps rest for 1 minute, slice if desired, and serve hot for maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

For juicier burgers, avoid over-smashing the beef as it cooks.
Use fresh crispy fried onions for added crunch and flavor contrast.
Customize the burger sauce with a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Make sure tortillas are fresh and flexible to prevent cracking when folding.
This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to maintain crispness in the wrap.
