Steps

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Add the yellow onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.

3. 3

   Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Add the ground beef. Cook while breaking it up, until browned and fully cooked. If necessary, drain the excess fat, leaving a little in the skillet.

5. 5

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

6. 6

   Add the Worcestershire sauce, chopped jalapeño, and water.

7. 7

   Simmer the mixture uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has completely reduced and the beef is moist but not watery. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

8. 8

   Remove the beef from the heat and let it cool slightly.

9. 9

   To prepare the sauce, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pickles, pickle juice, onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sugar, and black pepper until smooth.

10. 10

    Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.

11. 11

    Place the tortillas on a work surface and spread approximately 1 tbsp of sauce slightly below the center of each one.

12. 12

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

13. 13

    Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly to form the wraps.

14. 14

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

15. 15

    Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, gently pressing them, until golden and crispy.

16. 16

    Continue cooking until all sides are crispy and the cheese has melted.

17. 17

    Let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes, cut them in half, and serve immediately with extra cheeseburger sauce.

Notes

The source does not provide a separate recipe for the caramelized onions; they should be prepared in advance. The amount of oil for pan-frying is not specified. The recipe indicates serving immediately with additional sauce.
