I usually start the sweet potato fries first, then work on the beef while the fries bake. Then, I prep the lettuce, pickles, sauce, and tortillas so everything is warm and ready to assemble at the same time.

These wraps are hearty, satisfying, and packed with flavor. We especially love them served in warm Siete tortillas with crunchy romaine or buttercrunch lettuce and lots of house sauce.

I always use homemade mayo for the sauce whenever possible, although a good clean store-bought brand works just fine too.

Ingredients for Burger Wraps with Sweet Potato Fries and House Sauce

For the Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes: I rarely peel them. Just scrub well and slice into wedges.

Avocado oil: Helps the fries crisp beautifully in the oven. Here’s a clean brand I love.

Salt: Simple and perfect. Be sure to use unrefined sea salt! Use code KEEPITREAL for 15% off your order of my favorite unrefined sea salt.

For the Burger Wraps

Ground beef: I use our homegrown grass-fed beef and the same cooking method as my burger bowls recipe for crispy, flavorful meat. Read this for help with sourcing clean local meats.

Tortillas: We love Siete tortillas for these wraps.

Crunchy lettuce: Romaine or buttercrunch are my favorites.

Pickles: Use your favorite (fermented!) clean brand or homemade pickles. I love homemade whenever possible.

Tomatoes: Optional, in-season. When homegrown tomatoes are in-season, we love to add them to these wraps. diced.

House sauce: The same creamy, tangy sauce from my burger bowl recipe.

For the House Sauce

Homemade mayo: My preference for the best flavor and ingredients. Get my mayo recipe here.

Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, fresh garlic, and paprika: Simple ingredients that create that classic burger sauce flavor. Use homemade ketchup or a clean brand without HFCS.

How to Make Burger Wraps with Sweet Potato Fries and House Sauce

1. Start with the sweet potato fries.

Slice the sweet potatoes into long wedges, toss with avocado oil and salt, then spread into a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes. If your oven has convection bake, use it! You’ll get crispy outsides with soft, fluffy insides.

2. While the fries cook, prepare the beef.

Turn out the entire slab of beef onto one palm of your hand, sprinkling the exposed side with organic season salt.  Add the slab to the skillet, seasoned side down, then season the remaining exposed side. 

I use a large skillet to cook two one-pound slabs of ground beef at a time. This is enough to feed my family of five, including three teenage boys!

Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes so it develops a flavorful crust on the first side.

Then flip the entire slab over.

At this point, use a metal spatula to slice the beef into several long strips that will fit nicely inside a wrap. I find it works best to slice across the shorter width rather than the long length because the meat holds together better that way.

Continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through with crispy edges.

While the beef finishes cooking, prep the remaining ingredients.

3. Mix together the house sauce. Chop the lettuce. Slice the pickles. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or on a griddle.

To assemble the wraps, layer warm beef onto each tortilla and smother with house sauce. Top with crunchy lettuce and sliced pickles, then wrap tightly and serve immediately alongside the sweet potato fries.

Tips for the Best Burger Wraps

Use crunchy lettuce

Soft lettuce disappears into the wrap. Romaine and buttercrunch hold up beautifully and add the perfect fresh crunch.

Warm the tortillas

Warm tortillas fold better and taste dramatically better.

Don’t overcrowd the fries

A single layer is key for crispy sweet potato fries.

Slice the beef after flipping

This helps the meat develop a crust first while still holding together nicely in wrap-sized strips.
