Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Wraps and Cheese
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings
- 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
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Beef: Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning mix along with 1/4 cup water. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until they become pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: On each warm tortilla, spread a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Add a scoop of the seasoned ground beef, then top with salsa, sour cream, diced tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), green onions, and crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, ensuring all the fillings are enclosed.
- Optional Grill: For a melty, crispy finish, place the wraps seam-side down on a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crisp and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and serve immediately with extra salsa or guacamole on the side.
Notes
- Jalapeños are optional and can be omitted for a milder flavor.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
- For a more authentic taco flavor, fresh cilantro can be added among the toppings.
- To reduce calories, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and grilled just before serving for convenience.
