Saucy and Smokey Pork Burgers in Tortillas
Stuck in a burger rut? These sure-to-be-a-hit pork burgers are covered in gooey cheese and encased in a crispy tortilla. For little appetites, make smaller patties. We love the idea of using a tortilla in place of a bun. It's less filling than a regular burger bun and it keeps everything tucked inside!

Prep time: 5 minutes + chilling time, On the Table: 25 minutesIngredients
Directions
Stir together ketchup, chipotle pepper sauce, vinegar, mustard and brown sugar in a bowl until combined well. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together pork, bacon, paprika, sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Form into 6 burgers. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes or up to 6 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat barbecue to high.
Oil grill, then cook patties (lid down if using a gas grill or uncovered if using charcoal) for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip over and brush cooked side of each burger with sauce. Close lid and cook for another 7-8 minutes. Reduce heat if needed.
Flip burgers, brush with more sauce, then top with cheese. Place burger in the middle of a tortilla shell and wrap to enclose. Place burgers seam-side down and close lid. Flip, once toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
Serve with guacamole, if desired.
