Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Wrap and Vegetables:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
Seasoning:
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a large skillet set to medium heat, brown the ground beef, crumbling the meat while cooking. Eliminate excess grease through draining.
- Incorporate taco seasoning and water into the skillet, stirring thoroughly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until liquid evaporates and beef absorbs the spices completely.
- Prepare tortillas by warming them briefly in the microwave or on a dry skillet for approximately 20 seconds, ensuring they become soft and flexible.
- Create the wrap foundation by spreading nacho cheese sauce across each tortilla surface, leaving slight margins around the edges.
- Layer seasoned beef centrally on the tortilla, creating a linear strip that allows easy rolling.
- Enhance the wrap with complementary toppings: sprinkle shredded lettuce, distribute diced tomatoes, scatter cheddar cheese, and add jalapeno slices for extra zest.
- Execute precise folding technique by tucking tortilla sides inward, then rolling from the bottom edge upward to form a compact, sealed wrap.
- Plate immediately and accompany with optional dipping companions like sour cream, additional nacho cheese, or fresh salsa for added flavor complexity.
Notes
- Lean Ground Beef Selection: Choose ground beef with 90% lean meat for a healthier wrap that’s still packed with flavor and reduces excess grease.
- Seasoning Flexibility: Adjust taco seasoning intensity by using half a packet for milder taste or mixing homemade spice blends to customize heat levels.
- Tortilla Temperature Matters: Warm tortillas are crucial for preventing cracking and ensuring smooth wrapping; use a damp paper towel when microwaving to keep them soft.
- Meal Prep Hack: Cook extra seasoned beef and store in refrigerator for quick weeknight meals or next-day lunch wraps.
