Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps: A Weight Watchers-Friendly Fusion

Introduction

Elevate your mealtime experience with the tantalizing blend of flavors in our Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps—a Weight Watchers-friendly fusion that combines the classic appeal of a cheeseburger with the convenience and smart choices needed for your wellness journey.

Smart Ingredient Choices

Begin this culinary adventure with smart ingredient choices. Opt for lean ground turkey or lean beef as the protein base, ensuring a savory and satisfying filling without compromising on nutritional balance. Whole wheat or low-carb wraps provide a wholesome foundation, adding fiber to your meal.

Sensational Bacon Infusion

What sets these wraps apart is the inclusion of bacon—an ingredient that introduces a smoky, savory element to the mix. Opt for lean turkey bacon for a flavorful yet health-conscious twist. This addition adds a layer of complexity to the wraps, making each bite a delightful journey of taste and texture.

Wholesome Veggie Medley

Enhance the nutritional profile of your wraps by incorporating a colorful array of vegetables. Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions not only contribute vibrant colors but also add essential vitamins and crunch, creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

Lightened-Up Cheese Choice

Maintain a Weight Watchers-friendly balance by choosing light or reduced-fat cheese options. Whether it’s cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite cheese variety, the lightened-up version ensures that you can enjoy the cheesy goodness without excessive SmartPoints.

Flavorful Seasoning

Infuse your filling with flavor using a thoughtful blend of seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce add depth and savory richness to the wraps, ensuring each bite is a burst of deliciousness.

Cooking Brilliance

Brown the ground turkey or beef in a skillet, incorporating the bacon pieces for a cohesive flavor. Once cooked, add the flavorful seasonings and allow the mixture to simmer, absorbing the aromatic notes.

Wrapping Elegance

Assemble your wraps by placing a generous scoop of the seasoned filling onto a whole wheat or low-carb wrap. Add the colorful vegetable medley and a sprinkle of light cheese. Carefully fold the sides and roll the wrap, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

Serving Suggestions

These Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps are versatile and can be served hot or cold. Pair them with a side of baked sweet potato fries, a crisp green salad, or a bowl of vegetable soup for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

yield: 4 WRAPS

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw 95% lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon McCormick Hamburger Seasoning
  • 4 Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Wedges, cut into pieces (can use another flavor)
  • 2 tablespoon Ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
  • 1/3 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Hormel Real Bacon Bits
  • 4 light original Flatouts
  • ½ a medium tomato, cut into pieces
  • 1 – 1 ½ cups shredded lettuce

Instructions

  • Bring a large skillet to medium heat. Add the ground beef and hamburger seasoning and cook until meat is browned. Drain meat. Clean skillet and set aside.
  • Place meat in a medium bowl and add the cheese wedges, ketchup, mustard, cheddar and bacon bits. Stir to combine. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir again until meat is evenly coated.
  • Spoon a quarter of the meat mixture (around 2/3 cup) onto the center of each flatout and spread the mixture lengthwise, leaving about an inch at each end. Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce and tomato pieces across the top of the meat. Fold in the 1” ends of the flatout over the filling and then fold in the long ends to cover it.
  • Lightly mist the large skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium-low heat. Place the wraps fold-side down onto the skillet (I did them in batches of two) and let them cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Flip the wraps and continue to cook until golden on the bottom. Cut in half and serve.
