How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (95% lean)
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
- 4 wedges of Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle (or your favorite flavor)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (2%)
- 2 tablespoons bacon bits
- 4 light original Flatouts
- ½ medium tomato (diced)
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded lettuce
Directions
To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef along with your hamburger seasoning, and cook it until browned. After that, drain any excess fat, and give the skillet a quick wipe.
Next, in a medium bowl, combine the browned beef, cheese wedges, ketchup, mustard, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. Mix it all well and pop it in the microwave for about a minute to let the flavors meld together. Stir it again to ensure everything is nicely combined.
Take about a quarter of this meaty mixture (roughly 2/3 cup) and spread it down the center of each Flatout, making sure to leave an inch of space at both ends. Top your mixture with shredded lettuce and diced tomato for that fresh crunch!
Now, fold the ends of each Flatout over the filling, and then roll them up tightly. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray and return it to medium-low heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet (I usually cook two at a time) and allow them to brown for about 3-4 minutes until golden. Flip them over to crisp up the other side. Slice them in half and savor the deliciousness!
Storing Suggestion
These Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can certainly refrigerate leftovers. Just place them in an airtight container for up to two days. To reheat, a quick spin in the microwave or skillet will do the trick!
Cooking Tips
If you’re short on time, consider using pre-cooked bacon or cooked deli meat as a shortcut. Also, feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste! You can always add extra spices or herbs to enhance flavor. Don’t hesitate to add a touch of hot sauce for those who like it spicy!
Serving Suggestions
These wraps pair well with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad. You can also serve them with your favorite dipping sauces or a side of pickles to replicate that classic burger experience. For drinks, I recommend a fresh lemonade or a simple iced tea for a refreshing finish!
Ingredient Substitutions
If you want a healthier option, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Low-fat cheese can replace the cheddar, and you could use whole grain tortillas instead of the Flatouts for added fiber. Keep it fun—swap out toppings based on what you have in your fridge!
Seasonal Variations
When tomatoes are in season, consider using fresh heirloom varieties for a burst of flavor. In the fall, adding caramelized onions or roasted peppers can bring a different dimension to the wraps. In summer, feel free to incorporate fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for added zest.
Allergen Information
This recipe contains common allergens such as dairy (from the cheese and bacon bits) and gluten (from the tortillas). If you’re gluten intolerant, consider using gluten-free wraps, and for dairy-free options, cashew cheese can be a tasty substitute.
