Introduction
There’s something special about biting into a wrap that’s crispy on the outside, loaded with juicy seasoned beef, melty cheese, and a little tang from pickles inside. The first time I made these Air Fryer Cheeseburger Wraps, my kitchen smelled like a diner on a Friday night. I remember my kids running in, eyes wide, asking if we were having burgers for dinner. And honestly? It’s even better than that.

Think of this recipe as the love child of a classic cheeseburger and a toasted quesadilla. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for when you want the flavors of a burger without firing up the grill. Plus, the air fryer gives the tortilla that perfect golden crunch without drowning it in oil.
If you’re a fan of creative comfort food, you’ll love these as much as we love making Garlic Parmesan Cheeseburger Bombs — both are all about rich flavors and melty cheese goodness.
