How to Make Fajita Burger Wraps

1. Prepare the burgers

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and fajita seasoning. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape into patties about 1.5 cm thick.

2. Cook the burgers

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the burgers from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté the vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.

4. Assemble the wraps

Place each tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of each tortilla, layer: • about ½ cup of the pepper-onion mixture • 1 cooked burger patty • about 20 g (3 tablespoons) shredded cheddar cheese Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the top and bottom to form a tight square wrap.

5. Toast the wraps

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown and lightly crispy. The internal temperature of the beef should reach 71°C.

Tips for Perfect Fajita Burger Wraps

• Don’t overmix the beef to keep patties juicy

• Use a heavy skillet for best browning
• Let wraps rest 1–2 minutes before serving
