Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake these skewers.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
  3. Lay the flour tortillas flat and spread a thin layer of the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly across each tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, add diced onions, and drizzle burger sauce on top.
  5. Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays intact.
  6. Slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
Cooking
  1. Carefully thread several pinwheels onto wooden skewers, aiming for about 3 to 5 per skewer.
  2. Place the skewers on a baking sheet, grill, griddle, or skillet and cook until the beef is fully cooked, and the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with extra burger sauce for dipping.
