How to Make Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps
Step 1: Cook the beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and stir in ketchup and mustard if using. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Assemble the wraps
Lay out your tortillas. In the center of each, place a slice of cheese, then top with a generous scoop of the beef mixture.
Add your favorite toppings (like diced pickles, onions, or a drizzle of burger sauce), then fold the tortilla like a burrito: sides in first, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
Step 3: Air fry
Spray the outside of each wrap lightly with olive oil spray.
Place seam-side down in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Serve
Slice in half and serve with extra dipping sauce, fries, or a simple side salad!
What to Serve with Cheeseburger Wraps
Keep it classic and serve with:
- Sweet potato fries or curly fries
- Air fryer onion rings
- Dill pickle spears
- Coleslaw or pasta salad
- Fruit salad for a fresh contrast
- A cold drink or milkshake if you’re going all-in!
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Wraps
- Don’t overstuff—it makes rolling harder and can lead to leaks
- Place seam-side down first in the air fryer to help seal
- A light spray of oil makes them extra crispy
- Use cheese slices or shredded cheese—just make sure it’s melty!
- Want extra golden wraps? Brush with melted butter before air frying
