Ingredients

- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

How to Make Weight Watchers Cheeseburger Crunch Wraps
Step 1: Toast the Tortilla
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut one tortilla into four equal quarters and toast each piece for about 1 minute per side until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Cook the Cheeseburger Filling
Lightly coat a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add the lean ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess liquid if necessary and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Crunch Wrap
Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Spray one side of a tortilla with cooking spray. Spread 2 teaspoons of mustard in the centre.
Add approximately ½ cup of the cooked beef mixture, leaving about a 1½-inch border around the edges.
Top with:
- Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- Fresh diced tomatoes
- Chopped dill pickles
- Shredded lettuce
Place one toasted tortilla quarter over the filling.
Step 4: Fold the Wrap
Fold the edges of the large tortilla inward, creating overlapping pleats until the filling is completely enclosed.
Step 5: Cook Until Crispy
Carefully place the wrap seam-side down into the heated skillet.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes on the opposite side.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four delicious cheeseburger crunch wraps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes! Lean ground turkey or ground chicken makes an excellent lower-fat alternative while keeping the recipe high in protein.
Can I make these in the air fryer?
Absolutely. Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
What tortillas work best?
Low-carb, high-fibre tortillas are ideal because they’re easier to fold and help reduce calories and WW Points.
Can I freeze these?
Yes. Assemble the wraps without lettuce, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until heated through.
