Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Extra-lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
-
Low-carb or whole wheat tortillas (large)
-
Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
-
Pickles (sliced)
-
Diced onions
-
Lettuce (shredded)
-
Light mayonnaise
-
Mustard
-
Ketchup
-
Olive oil spray
-
Garlic powder, salt, and pepper (to season the beef)
-
Optional: diced tomatoes, hot sauce, or a small corn tortilla or low-point tostada for extra crunch inside
Directions
-
I brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I cook until fully browned, then set it aside.
-
In a small bowl, I mix light mayo, ketchup, and mustard to create a simple “burger sauce.”
-
I lay out a tortilla and layer a spoonful of sauce in the center, followed by cooked beef, shredded cheese, diced onions, pickles, and lettuce.
-
If I want an extra crunch layer, I add a small crisp tortilla or baked tostada on top before folding.
-
I carefully fold the edges of the tortilla inward, working in a circle until it forms a tight, sealed wrap.
-
I spray a skillet with olive oil spray and place the wrap seam-side down over medium heat.
-
I cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the wrap is golden brown and crispy.
-
I slice and serve hot with extra sauce or light dipping options on the side.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 2–3 crunch wraps.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: Around 20 minutes
Variations
Sometimes I use ground turkey or even veggie crumbles for a meatless version. I’ve also added sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor. For a taco-style twist, I use taco seasoning in the meat and add a spoonful of salsa inside. When I want more bulk, I toss in some chopped tomatoes or shredded carrots.
storage/reheating
I store leftover wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and re-crisped—about 3–4 minutes per side. I avoid microwaving them if I want to keep that crunch.
FAQs
Can I make this with turkey instead of beef?
Yes. I often use 99% lean ground turkey—it’s just as tasty and even lower in points.
How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?
I avoid overfilling and fold tightly. Cooking it seam-side down first helps seal it. A little cheese near the seam also helps everything stick together.
What kind of tortilla works best?
I go for large whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to keep points low but still have enough room to fold.
Can I bake these instead of pan-frying?
Yes. I bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway through for even crisping.
What’s a good side to serve with this?
I like pairing it with a side salad, roasted veggies, or baked sweet potato fries for a balanced meal.
Conclusion
The Weight Watchers Cheeseburger Crunch Wrap is one of my favorite ways to enjoy all the fun and flavor of a cheeseburger—wrapped in a lighter, crispier package. It’s easy to make, endlessly customizable, and satisfies my fast-food cravings without going off track. Whether I’m eating solo or feeding the family, it’s always a winner.
