Whopper Ingredients- 100g ground beef
- 1 tortilla
- 3 fresh lettuce leaves
- A little onion
- 2-3 cherry tomatoes (or 1/2 regular tomato)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- A little butter
Special Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 0.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup or honey)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 0.5 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup or honey)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the special sauce that will elevate this tortilla Whopper. We’ll mix mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, whole grain mustard, and oligodang in a golden ratio. I’ve tried many combinations, and this one is the best, loved by both kids and adults! Combine 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 0.5 tablespoon of whole grain mustard, and 1 tablespoon of oligodang, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
Step 2
Once all the sauce ingredients are mixed well, your delicious homemade Whopper sauce is ready! Taste it and if you feel any flavor is lacking, feel free to add a bit more ketchup or mustard to your preference. However, with the ratio I’ve provided, I’m confident you’ll be satisfied!
Step 3
Now, let’s move on to making the ground beef patty, the heart of our tortilla Whopper. Place the clean tortilla flat on a cutting board.
Step 4
Take the ground beef and press it down with your hands onto the tortilla, spreading it out as wide as the tortilla itself. Imagine you’re pressing rice grains together. A helpful tip: beef patties shrink significantly when cooked, so it’s crucial to spread the meat much wider than the tortilla initially to ensure it doesn’t look small and pathetic later. Pressing firmly with your hands also helps the patty adhere to the tortilla so it doesn’t separate during cooking.
Step 5
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the flattened ground beef patty. You know, these two seasonings are essential for capturing that signature Whopper beef patty flavor. Don’t forget them!
Step 6
Now, let’s cook the delicious patty. Heat the pan thoroughly, then add a little butter. The butter will add a wonderful savory aroma to the patty.
Step 7
Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, carefully place the tortilla ground beef patty you prepared onto the pan.
Step 8
Start by placing the meat side down onto the hot pan. Flip it quickly and swiftly to ensure the patty stays intact on the tortilla and then place it firmly in the pan.
Step 9
Initially, sear the patty on high heat to develop a delicious aroma. Then, reduce the heat to medium-high or medium and cook until the inside is fully cooked. It’s vital that the patty is cooked through without burning the exterior. Undercooked patties can pose a risk of foodborne illness, so it’s best to cook it thoroughly over medium heat, adjusting the temperature as needed. (Considering past incidents related to undercooked patties, extra care is necessary with ground beef. Even with stringent hygiene practices at home, it’s wise to cook ground meat thoroughly due to potential bacterial contamination during processing.) Once one side looks nicely browned, flip it over.
Step 10
Can you smell that delicious Whopper patty aroma? Notice how much the patty has shrunk compared to its initial size. This is why pressing it out as wide as the tortilla is so important. If you press it out thoroughly, you’ll have plenty of space to fill with other ingredients later without it feeling sparse.
Step 11
After one side of the patty has cooked sufficiently, it’s time to cook the other side to finish the patty.
Step 12
Using a spatula, carefully flip the patty and cook it evenly on both sides until golden brown.
Step 13
Alright, let’s assemble our tortilla Whopper! Place the well-cooked tortilla on a plate and generously spread the special sauce you made. The sauce will act as a binder for the tortilla and the fillings.
Step 14
Next, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. The melting cheese will enhance the flavor.
Step 15
Place 3 fresh lettuce leaves. If you love vegetables, feel free to add more according to your preference!
Step 16
Add sliced cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness. I used cherry tomatoes because that’s what I had at home, but using a regular tomato sliced would be more convenient. I recommend using a tomato!
Step 17
Add some sliced onions to enhance the Whopper flavor. The crispness and aroma of the onion will further elevate the taste of your burger.
Step 18
Now that all the ingredients are ready, neatly fold the tortilla in half to create the Whopper shape.
Step 19
Finished! Cut it in half for easier eating, and your magnificent homemade tortilla Whopper is complete. While I kept the vegetables slightly less to suit the kids’ preferences, this special tortilla Whopper, made with your family’s health and taste in mind, is ready to be enjoyed!
