Here’s a simple and tasty tortilla wrap with ground beef recipe—perfect for lunch or a quick dinner 🌯
Ingredients (makes 4 wraps)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade: chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- Optional: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, pickled jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic until soft.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned.
- Drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup water (if using packaged). Simmer 2–3 minutes until well coated.
- Warm the tortillas:
- Heat in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 20–30 seconds.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Lay a tortilla flat.
- Add a layer of beef in the center.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Add lettuce, tomatoes, and any optional toppings.
- Wrap it up:
- Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Optional: Toast in a skillet 1–2 minutes per side for a warm, crispy wrap.
- Serve:
- Cut in half diagonally and enjoy with salsa or sour cream on the side.
Tips
- Cheesy melt: Sprinkle extra cheese on top and pop in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Spicy kick: Add hot sauce, jalapeños, or crushed red pepper flakes.
- Meal prep: Wrap individually in foil and refrigerate for 3–4 days; reheat in the oven or microwave.
If you want, I can also make a loaded, deluxe version with beans, corn, and a creamy sauce that’s extra flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
