Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
• 8 flour tortillas
• 4 (4 ounce) hamburger patties
• 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
• 3 tablespoons picante sauce, or to taste
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup taco sauce
• 0.25 cup ranch dressing
• 0.5 head lettuce, shredded, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine sour cream, ranch dressing, and taco sauce in a bowl until smooth. Cover Southwest sauce; refrigerate for flavors to blend.

Step 3

Cook hamburger patties on the preheated grill, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce, for 5 minutes. Flip patties and arrange tortillas on grill; reduce heat under tortillas to medium-low. Top tortillas with Cheddar cheese and Colby-Jack cheese. Continue cooking patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes; cook tortillas until cheeses melt, 2 to 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into patty centers should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 4

Spread Southwest sauce onto 4 tortillas, cheese-sides up; top each with lettuce, picante sauce, and 1 patty. Top with remaining tortillas, cheese-sides down.
