Here’s a simple and tasty way to make tortilla wraps with ground beef:
Ingredients (for 4 wraps):
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for a mild kick)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 tomato, diced
- Lettuce leaves, shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt (optional)
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Cook the beef:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft (2–3 minutes).
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Prepare tortillas:
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.
- Assemble wraps:
- Place a few lettuce leaves on the tortilla.
- Spoon the cooked ground beef over the lettuce.
- Add diced tomato and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Top with sour cream or yogurt if desired.
- Wrap and serve:
- Fold the sides over and roll tightly.
- Cut in half if you like and serve immediately.
💡 Tips for extra flavor:
- Add some sliced avocado, jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- You can also include sautéed bell peppers or corn for a veggie boost.
If you want, I can give a quick version with pre-seasoned taco beef that takes less than 15 minutes to make. Do you want that version too?
