CHEESEBURGER MEATBALL TORTILLA BOWLS

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly spray 4 ovenproof bowls with oil and press the wraps inside to form a bowl shape. Cook in batches if you don’t have 4 suitable bowls. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. 
  1. Make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, tomato sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Set aside. 
  1. Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the mince, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well. Roll into 25g balls. Heat a large frying pan with a little oil and cook the meatballs for 8–10 minutes, turning often, until cooked through. 
  1. Cook the bacon until crispy, either in a pan or in the oven. Break into small pieces once cooled. 
  1. Assemble the bowls: 
  • Fill each tortilla bowl with shredded iceberg lettuce. 
  • Add the diced onion, grated cheese, chopped pickles, and crispy bacon. 
  • Top with the quartered cherry tomatoes and warm meatballs. 
  • Drizzle generously with the burger sauce and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
