Tortilla burgers are a real playground for creative chefs. You can experiment with different types of meat, toppings, and sauces to create unique flavour combinations. In our recipe, we keep it classic—minced beef, a sauce reminiscent of the popular Big Mac sandwich, and lettuce. No one will miss the classic fast food because the tortilla burger is far superior.
