Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Wrap Components
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned evenly, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure no large chunks remain.
- Season the Beef: Drain off excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning mix along with 1/4 cup water. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef well.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until they become pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on it. Add a generous scoop of the seasoned beef on top, then layer with salsa, sour cream, diced tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), chopped green onions, and crushed tortilla chips for crunch.
- Roll the Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, ensuring the fillings stay secure inside.
- Optional Crisping: For a melty, crispy finish, place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortilla gets golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately, with extra salsa or guacamole on the side as desired.
Notes
- Use jalapeños according to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder wrap.
- Wraps can be assembled ahead and stored tightly wrapped in foil, then crisped right before serving.
- For gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas for gluten-free tortillas.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness.
- Add avocado slices or guacamole inside the wrap for extra creaminess.
