Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling

1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground beef to the griddle and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
3. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Stir in ketchup and mustard. Remove from heat and set aside.

1. Lay out 4 tortillas. Spread a thin layer of cheese on half of each tortilla.
2. Add a scoop of the cheeseburger filling, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and optional chopped pickles.
3. Fold the tortillas in half to create a pocket.

3. Cook the Tater Tot Skewers

1. Preheat the griddle to medium heat. Place the frozen tater tots directly on the griddle.
2. Cook, turning frequently, for about 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.
3. Thread the cooked tater tots onto skewers. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, if using.
4. Let the cheese melt slightly on the griddle before removing. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
