Steps

1. 1

   Heat 1 tbsp of the listed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add the finely diced yellow onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef. Break it up as it cooks until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed, leaving a little behind in the skillet.

5. 5

   Add the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, beef-mixture garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the beef-mixture Worcestershire sauce, chopped jalapeño, and water. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has completely reduced and the beef is moist but not watery.

7. 7

   Taste the beef and adjust the salt if needed.

8. 8

   Remove the skillet from the heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.

9. 9

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, sauce Worcestershire sauce, minced dill pickles, pickle juice, minced onion, sauce garlic powder, sauce smoked paprika, sugar, and sauce black pepper until smooth.

10. 10

    Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.

11. 11

    Lay out the tortillas. Spread about 1 tbsp of sauce slightly below the center of each tortilla.

12. 12

    Add about 1/4 cup of beef to each tortilla, followed by 2 tbsp of cheese, caramelized onions, and chopped pickled jalapeños.

13. 13

    Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.

14. 14

    Heat a thin layer of pan-frying oil in a skillet over medium heat.

15. 15

    Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and crispy.

16. 16

    Continue cooking and turning the wraps until all sides are crisp and the cheese has melted.

17. 17

    Let the wraps rest for 1–2 minutes. Slice each in half and serve immediately with extra cheeseburger sauce.

Notes

The source does not specify how to make the caramelized onions, and does not give exact amounts for the caramelized onions or pickled jalapeños used in each wrap. The listed “oil” quantity is 2 tbsp, while the method specifies heating 1 tbsp initially; pan-frying oil is listed separately without a quantity.
