Ingredients
1poundground beef
1/3cupbread crumbs , or cracker crumbs
1largeegg
1tablespoonmilk
1teaspoongarlic salt
1/2teaspoonchili powder
1/2teaspoonground pepper
4 8-inchflour tortillas, or 8 -4 inch flour tortillas/one for each side of the burgers
4slicescheese, Colby Jack or Pepper Jack
Instructions
Place the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly by hand. Shape the meat mixture into 4 patties, each of the patties should be about 1/3 inch thick.
Place the patties in a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 4 minutes on each side. (You can grill the patties instead, if desired.) Remove the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Now, let's assemble the burgers. Place one tortilla on the counter, add the cheese to the center of the tortilla, then add a burger to the center and fold the edges of the tortilla around the burger. It will look like a pinwheel when you are done and there may be a small amount of burger showing on one side.
Place the wrapped burger on a Panini Press heated to 375 degrees. My Panini Press is made by Breville. It was well worth the money I spent on it at Williams Sonoma, cooks evenly and gives the best grill marks to the food.
Press the burgers, edges down, for about 4 minutes with the lid closed and pressing down on the burgers.
If you don't have a Panini Press, put the burgers on the grill with a baking sheet on top to press them down, cooking for two minutes on each side.
Equipment
1 panini press, or griddle
Notes
