Here’s a simple, tasty way to make tortilla wraps with ground beef. I’ll break it down step by step:
Ingredients (for 4 wraps)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 400–500 g (≈1 lb) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa, avocado
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add flavor:
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the beef and cook until softened.
- Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 2–3 more minutes to let the spices meld.
- Warm the tortillas:
- Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
- Assemble the wraps:
- Place some beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add any optional toppings.
- Fold the sides over and roll tightly.
- Optional step – melt the cheese:
- Place wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a skillet for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese and give a slight crisp.
- Serve:
- Cut in half and enjoy immediately with salsa or sour cream on the side.
If you want, I can also give you a shortcut version that’s ready in 15 minutes with even more flavor punch.
