Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook the beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  4. Flip the tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, and fold in half.
  5. Grill both sides until crispy and melty, achieving a golden-brown color.
  6. Slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.

Notes

You can make these vegan by swapping the ground beef with black beans or lentils and using dairy-free cheese. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
