Ingredients

Scale

Beef Patties and Onions

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
1 tablespoon oil

Burger Sauce

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

Wrap and Toppings

4 large flour tortillas, about 10 inches each
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 cup crispy fried onions
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup sliced pickles

Instructions

Preheat the skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it is very hot to ensure a good sear on the patties.
Make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle relish. Mix well and set aside for flavors to meld.
Form the beef balls: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal loose balls, keeping them loosely packed for better smashing.
Prepare the patties with onions: Add a little oil to the skillet if needed. Place thin piles of sliced onion on the hot skillet, then set one beef ball over each onion pile. Use a spatula to firmly smash the ball until very thin, integrating the onions beneath.
Season and cook the patties: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over the smashed patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom side is browned and crisp, then carefully flip them over.
Add cheese: Immediately top each flipped patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and continue cooking until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked through.
Assemble the wraps: Spread the prepared burger sauce evenly over each tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, one cheesy smashed patty with onions, and a generous handful of crispy fried onions on top.
Wrap and toast: Fold each tortilla into a wrap shape and place seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crisp.
Serve: Remove wraps from the skillet, let rest for 1 minute, slice in half if desired, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Using 80/20 beef ensures the patties remain juicy and flavorful.
Smashing the patties thin helps achieve a crispy crust and allows the onions to char and add sweetness.
You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
For extra flavor, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the burger sauce.
Crispy fried onions add great texture; if unavailable, thinly sliced and fried onions or caramelized onions work too.
