Chef's Tips
For an extra crispy tortilla base, ensure the pan is hot before adding the wrap and avoid overcrowding the pan.
If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture.
Use a spatula to press down firmly on the meat while it cooks to ensure it adheres well to the tortilla and browns evenly.
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely chop the tomato and gherkins. Thinly slice the red onion. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chopped gherkins, and sesame seed to create the burger sauce. Set aside.
Prepare the Meat
Place the minced beef onto one side of the wholemeal tortilla wrap. Using your hands, spread the meat evenly and thinly across the entire surface of the tortilla. Season the meat generously with cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the Burger Taco
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Place the tortilla into the pan, meat-side down. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the meat is fully browned and cooked through, and the tortilla edges are crispy.
Add Cheese and Finish Cooking
Flip the tortilla so the meat side is facing up. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the cooked meat. Cover the pan briefly or cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese has melted. Remove the burger taco from the pan and place it on a plate.
Assemble and Serve
Top the cheesy meat layer with the lettuce, chopped tomato, and sliced red onion. Spoon the prepared burger sauce over the fillings. Fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape. Slice in half and serve immediately.
