Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
Dairy:
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 4 tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons sliced jalapenos
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Sizzle olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Crumble ground beef into the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula and cooking until deeply browned and no pink remains.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning across the meat, stirring thoroughly to distribute evenly and allow spices to bloom for 2-3 minutes.
- Gently warm tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to increase flexibility.
- Generously spread nacho cheese sauce across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer cooked seasoned beef down the center of each cheese-coated tortilla.
- Top beef with crisp, shredded lettuce for freshness and crunch.
- Scatter diced tomatoes and sliced jalapenos across the filling for vibrant color and zesty flavor.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from one side to create a compact wrap.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately with a dollop of cool sour cream on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains the same zesty flavor profile.
- Toast the tortillas lightly before adding ingredients to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess.
- Select a low-fat nacho cheese sauce or make a homemade version with Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeno quantities or using milder pepper varieties for sensitive palates.
