Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Divide beef mixture into eight equal balls, form into patties, and cook for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  4. Flip patties and cook another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
  5. Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter. Lay butter-side down on the grill.
  6. Sprinkle cheese on one half of each tortilla, add cooked patties, onions, pickles, tomatoes, and more cheese.
  7. Fold tortilla over the filling and grill for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently.
  8. Flip and grill the second side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges.
  10. Serve warm, optionally garnishing with lettuce, ketchup, and mustard.
