- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Grill the Patties:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- While the patties are finishing, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30-60 seconds per side to make them pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Place a lettuce leaf in the center, then add a grilled cheeseburger patty.
- Top with tomato slices, red onion, and pickles.
- Drizzle with your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo) and add avocado or jalapeño slices if desired.
- Wrap and Serve:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly around the fillings.
