Rising trend: Tortilla burger revolutionises the classic hamburger

The tortilla burger is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to the classic hamburger, where a soft tortilla is used instead of a bun. This fusion of Mexican and American flavours has garnered many fans worldwide.

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.

The tortilla adds lightness and freshness to the dish while perfectly complementing the juicy meat, vegetables, and sauces. Additionally, the recipe is straightforward, so you can prepare it quickly and effortlessly.

Ingredients:

Sauce:

• 1 small pickled gherkin,
• ¼ onion,
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
• 2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup,
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar,
• ½ teaspoon of salt,
• 1 teaspoon of dried garlic,
• 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika.

Rest of the ingredients:

• 400 grams of beef chuck,
• 4 mini tortillas,
• 100 grams of cheddar cheese slices,
• 1 cup of chopped iceberg lettuce,
• 1 pickled gherkin,
• ¼ onion.

Instructions:

Step 1. Start with the sauce. Grate the gherkin and onion. Add mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, apple cider vinegar, salt, dried garlic, and sweet paprika.

Step 2. Mince the meat in a grinder and form it into balls. Lay the mini tortillas on the counter, place a meatball on each, and flatten it.

Step 3. Heat some oil in a pan and place the tortilla and meat side down. Fry, then flip it over, and season with salt and pepper. Place a cheese slice on top and cover with a lid. Keep on the pan until the cheese melts.

Step 4. Spread sauce on the tortilla burger and add the chopped lettuce. Add diced onion and gherkin, and fold in half. Enjoy!
