how to make Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 16 sliced pickles
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. In a large pan over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, then set it aside.
2. Stack the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover them with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 20-25 seconds to make them pliable.
3. Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on each one. Add 4 pickle slices, 1 slice of cheese, and about ½ cup of cooked ground beef to each tortilla.
4. Wrap up each tortilla like a burrito, folding in the sides as you go. Brush the tops with melted butter.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F. Add the wraps to the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown. Brush with additional melted butter if desired.
6. Let the wraps cool slightly, cut in half if you like, and enjoy!
