Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

Produce and Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, chopped

Wraps and Sauces

  • 4 large flour tortilla wraps
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce or salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Spices

  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
  2. Add Tomato Sauce and Cheese: Stir in tomato sauce or salsa and allow to simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the beef mixture and cover the skillet, letting the cheese melt into the filling.
  3. Warm Your Tortillas: While the beef simmers, warm the tortilla wraps in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable to ensure easy rolling without cracking.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Place a warmed tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of cheesy beef filling onto the center. Top with fresh lettuce and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure the filling inside.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Optionally cut the wrap diagonally and serve immediately while warm and melty. Leftovers can be reheated and enjoyed later.

Notes

  • Drain excess fat from the ground beef before adding tomato sauce to reduce greasiness.
  • Use freshly made or properly warmed tortillas to prevent cracking and ease rolling.
  • Keep filling amounts moderate to avoid leaks and make folding easier.
  • Customize cheese types for different melting textures and flavors.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly toast the wrapped tortillas in a skillet after rolling.
