Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps


I have been craving a cheeseburger like crazy lately. I have a lot of fun twists on cheeseburger flavors on my blog already: Cheeseburger Pizza, Cheeseburger “Cupcakes”, Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps, etc. As usual though, I wanted to try something new. I recently remembered my love for Flatouts (I used to buy these all the time and I have no idea how I forgot about them or why I stopped), so a cheeseburger wrap seemed like the perfect dinner solution. I use the ingredients below together in a lot of recipes, so I started brainstorming (well, if you can consider immediately pouncing on the first idea that popped into my head brainstorming…) how to improve upon juicy seasoned ground beef smothered in cheese, ketchup and mustard, topped with crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes. Then I realized…bacon. Is there anything that can’t be improved with bacon? I love the Hormel Real Bacon Bits because they’re an easy way to add just the right amount of bacon to your dish without any extra work or clean up. These wraps are satisfying, packed full of flavor and they come together quickly. Consider my burger craving squelched. 



Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps
Source: Emily Bites Original

Ingredients:
1 lb 95% lean ground beef (raw weight)
1 T McCormick Hamburger Seasoning
4 Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Wedges, cut into pieces
2 T Ketchup
2 t Yellow Mustard
1/3 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 T Hormel Real Bacon Bits
4 light original Flatouts
½ a medium tomato, cut into pieces
1 – 1 ½ cups shredded lettuce

Directions:
1.    Bring a large skillet to medium heat. Add the ground beef and hamburger seasoning and cook until meat is browned. Drain meat. Clean skillet and set aside.
2.    Place meat in a medium bowl and add the cheese wedges, ketchup, mustard, cheddar and bacon bits. Stir to combine. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir again until meat is evenly coated.
3.    Spoon a quarter of the meat mixture (around a generous ½ cup) onto the center of each flatout and spread the mixture lengthwise, leaving about an inch at each end. Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce and tomato pieces across the top of the meat. Fold in the 1” ends of the flatout over the filling and then fold in the long ends to cover it.
4.     Lightly mist the large skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium-low heat. Place the wraps fold-side down onto the skillet (I did them in batches of two) and let them cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Flip the wraps and continue to cook until golden on the bottom. Cut in half and serve.

  11. Oh my -These are delicious!!! I made stretched the meat out to 5 servings to match the number of flatouts in the package and the points went down to 6. I'm going to try them with LC creamy swiss cheese and put mushrooms in with the meat for a "Mushroom Swiss Bacon Cheeseburger". Thanks Emily for so many good recipes - you make my WW journey easier and tastier!

  12. This sounds delicious!! I LOVE burgers but not the "why did I eat that" feeling afterwards. Going to try this recipe tomorrow. Paired with the microwaved potato chips, it will be one yummy dinner! Thanks!

  13. I made these tonight and they were very good..but just a note on wrapping them. The first time I tried, the flatouts pretty much crumbled/broke into a bunch of pieces when I tried wrapping them. So I tried again after putting them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften them. Then, I had to put the meat in a long tubular shape inside the wrap. If you spread it out flat you will never be able to wrap them. Then, gently fold up the ends (not too hard or it will break). Next, ROLL the wrap. Do not FOLD it, or it will break in half. Otherwise, very good!

    1. Hm, I have never had crumbly flatouts before...I'm wondering if your package was expired or problematic. My flatouts are always super pliable. I'm glad you liked them anyway. Thanks for providing tips in case anyone else has that issue!

  14. I agree on the one person that said used Salsa...I was not a big fan of the mustard but my boyfriend loved it...Otherwise was really good..

  15. Can i skip the skillet and combine all the ingredient and just throw it on the grill?

    ReplyDelete
  16. these sound delicious--will definitely try them...I have a question Emily..how hard is to change a regular casserole recipe to a "cupcake" recipe--you've got me addicted to them..lol..

    1. Haha, it's actually pretty easy. Wonton cupcakes are very versatile - you can layer pretty much anything in there!

  19. We tried these last night (our first recipe from the site! :D) and LOVED them! We have a thing for burgers in our house but we wanted to switch it up and the flatbread seemed like a great change. We used two slices of chopped, real bacon and cooked it with the meat to give it some extra flavor. I also loved the usage of laughing cow (my favorite) but we did it with the garlic and herb since that was all we had on hand. Gotta love how cheesy these things are! We will definitely be making these again (and I think I need to add some grilled onions next time, too...YUM!) THANK YOU! I can't wait to try some of your other recipes.

    And to the posters having issues finding the flat outs (which are awesome, by the way) I had to go to walmart to find them because the local grocery store didn't have them (despite the flat-out website saying they did.) Since walmart is such a large scale company they tend to carry a little more in the way of products, so you might want to check there.

  20. I made these yesterday for my family. SO delicious! I added onions & mushrooms to the hamburger mix and topped it with jalapenos (for my husband and I) and pickles for the kids. They were easy and tasty and are in our dinner rotation now. Thanks so much for all the great ideas!

  23. I made this as my first emily bites recipe last night and was super impressed. I changed mine up a bit and it turned out delicious. I didn't fold the flat out because it seemed to difficult, and also formed the burgers into patties, and just made it like an open face sandwich in the flatout, but it was super good. I want to try grilled onions and other variations.

  27. I've never commented on a recipe I've attempted, but there's a first time for everything right?

    I admit that I'm not much of a cook. :) I made these last night...FABULOUS and EASY! I substituted in ground turkey and turkey bacon. These will now be in the weekly rotation! I bought my Flatouts from Harris Teeter. Thanks for sharing!

  33. Thanks for the low calorie recipes. Making these tonight. My store does not carry the Flatout bread anymore so I have to sub for a 90 cal wheat tortilla.

  34. How would these be with ground turkey? Anyone try it, that is what I have in the house! Also, I would make a batch of 5, but its just the hubby and I, so would probably save the extras for a quick week night meal and just heat them up!- Krista R.

  35. I just made these tonight and they were delicious. Used the original Laughing Cow as that's what I had in the frig. Found the flatouts at Kroger. My husband said it tasted like a wrap from a restaurant. This was so easy and quick to make - will make again for sure.

  40. The flavor in these were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I've made them twice now and had to fight to even get one of them. I had the ingredients in the fridge wanting to make them when I got home from work tonight but came home to find that my son made them for himself and left me with no ingredients! I knew for sure then they were a keeper because he hates cooking for himself.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Making these tomorrow night for supper. They look gloriously messy and I can't wait!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. These were great! I wasn't sure about the mustard, but the addition of it really made it tastes more like a burger than it would have without it. I also used the light swiss laughing cow becasue the store didn't have the queso. So delish. Thanks for all of your great recipes.

    BTW, my boyfriend recently said to me "you have to give me this new website that you love so much." I guess that means he approves of everything I have made him.

  43. This was absolutely amazing! Loved that it all stayed together and didn't fall all apart as my family was inhaling it!

  47. Emily,

    Thank you so much for these great recipes! This one was so freaking delish and after I had only eaten half of it I was SOOO SUPER STOKED to know there was an entire half waiting for me! It was filling, it was satisfying, and it was soooo yummy! My boyfriends has loved every recipe so far (his favorite is the Cheesy Taco Pasta). This may sound pathetic, but we eat Tuna sandwiches once a week (super cheap/easy) but you are on my menu EVERY OTHER NIGHT OF THE WEEK this week! You are awesome and thanks again!
