A Twist on Cheeseburgers!

Good evening,

I hope you have all had a great week of cooking and baking!  Remember if you ever want to share some of your recipes, please do so in the comment box.  Also, if you try one of the recipes on my blog, let me know how it came out.  This week, the feature recipe is a Bacon Cheeseburger Wrap.  I really wanted a hamburger for dinner, but my husband wanted a wrap.  I decided to combine the two and make a bacon cheeseburger wrap.  It came out delicious.  Would I replace it with a traditional burger ALL the time?  No, but anytime I want a burger with a twist, I know what to make.  It's super easy and takes little to no time.

Once again, I have also listed our weekly menu plan.  Happy cooking and baking everyone!!!

Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 pack of bacon (not the thick cut bacon...you can also use turkey bacon)
2-3 tablespoons ketchup
2-3 tablespoon honey mustard (I used spicy honey mustard)
1 small finely chopped onion (or you can use onion powder)
season all, garlic powder, and black pepper
6 flour tortillas
1 bag of shredded cheddar cheese
If you like:  tomatoes lettuce and/or any other toppings you may like on your burger



Directions:
1. You can prepare your bacon one of two ways: cook it on top of the stove or bake it in the oven.  I like to put my bacon in the oven (less greasy).  When you are done cooking your bacon, place on the side while you prepare the rest of your meal.  

2. In a skillet, brown your ground beef.  While it is in the pot, season with garlic powder, season all, and black pepper.  Cook the meat until it is no longer pink.   



3. Add ketchup, mustard, onion, and more seasoning if you need.  Let this cook for about 3-5 minutes.  

4. I like to put my tortillas in the oven just to warm them up a little.  Take a tortilla; in the middle of the tortilla, add some shredded cheese, then add a spoon full of the meat (don't be shy with the meat).  Next,  add the bacon and all your toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.).
5. Now here is the part that always gets me lol. Roll the tortilla up like a burrito.  When I go to Subway, I always carefully watch them and I am still no good at it.  I do recommend tucking in the sides and then rolling.  After I rolled up the wrap, I did place it on my Cuisine indoor grill to give it that grilled look, but you do not have to do that. 

6. ENJOY!!!!!
