Here’s a simple and tasty way to make tortilla wraps with ground beef—perfect for lunch or a quick dinner:
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 8 small or medium flour tortillas
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Lettuce, tomato, or other toppings
- Optional: salsa, sour cream, or guacamole
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped onion until soft.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Season the beef:
- Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook 2–3 more minutes to blend flavors.
- Warm the tortillas:
- Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
- Assemble wraps:
- Spoon seasoned ground beef onto the center of each tortilla.
- Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, or other toppings.
- Fold sides over and roll tightly.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of lime juice or chopped fresh cilantro to the beef before assembling.
- You can make these ahead and wrap in foil—reheat in the oven for 10 minutes before serving.
- Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn tortillas for a healthier twist.
If you want, I can give you a baked version with melted cheese on top that turns the wraps into a crispy, gooey meal—like an oven-baked burrito.
Do you want me to provide that version?
