2. on greased grill or in large greased non-stick skillet, cook burgers over medium-high heat, turning once, for 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
3. Meanwhile, heat tortillas, if desired, by briefly placing, one at a time, on greased grill, turning once, until lightly charred, about 30 seconds. Or, wrap all tortillas in foil and place in preheated 350F (180C) oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
4. to assemble, lay each burger on tortilla; top with desired garnishes. Fold in ends and roll up tortilla to enclose and secure.
