Rainy Day Burger Wraps

Summertime eating is here, but we have issues with getting bored with our menu planning. It's the time for lighter fare, and we like to keep it quick & versatile. We have some menu items that we might rotate around depending on the week. I bet you can guess that gets a little tired, too, even with the change ups.

This time, I gotta give credit to my hubby. This is his time to take over a lot of cooking...on the grill! Two of our menu items we go back & forth with on alternate weeks happen to be bratwurst (and hot dogs) switched with burgers.

Even though today wasn't rainy, too hot or too cold...my hubby imagined having burger wraps. We could assemble them like our soft tacos, but with typical burger condiments & such.

I ended up cooking them, and here's what I did:

RAINY DAY BURGER WRAPS

Ingredients:

* 1 lb. ground beef
* 1-2 splashes liquid smoke
* 2 Tbs minced onion
* salt & pepper to taste
* tortilla wraps
* condiments of choice


Directions:

~ brown up ground beef in a skillet with the minced onion with salt & pepper

~ once the meat is browned, crumbly & caramelized, drain the meat & rinse; place back into the skillet

~ set the burner with the skillet on low to keep the meat warm; add the liquid smoke, stir & allow to simmer

~ spoon some of the meat mixture onto a tortilla shell (we used a whole grain tortilla) & top with condiments of choice: shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard, mayo, bbq sauce, etc.

~ fold it up & consume

These ended up really good! They look like tacos...my kids kept pointing that out. But if you planned on burgers, but it's raining...or it's just too hot to grill (so basically for anyone who isn't a die-hard, extreme griller), this is a great option to just throw together. They are quick & easy...and no having to form meat patties! Oh...and we served 'em up with waffle fries!

My hubby has referred to them as "Any-Way-You-Want-'Em Burgers" too. Either way, another variation & slightly lighter version of a burger for the spring & summertime!

ENJOY!
