Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
Wrap and Garnish:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high temperature and cook ground beef until thoroughly browned, eliminating any excess grease.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning into the meat, stirring continuously to distribute evenly and enhance flavor profile.
- Gently warm tortillas on a flat griddle or in a microwave to increase pliability and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Spread a generous layer of nacho cheese sauce down the center of each tortilla, creating a creamy foundation for the wrap.
- Carefully distribute the seasoned beef mixture directly onto the nacho cheese layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Layer fresh crisp lettuce, diced ripe tomatoes, finely chopped onions, and optional spicy jalapeno slices across the beef.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla upward, then tightly roll the wrap while tucking in the sides to create a secure seal.
- Slice the wrap diagonally for easier handling and presentation, and serve immediately with a dollop of cool sour cream or an extra sprinkle of cheese if desired.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier wrap option.
- For a vegetarian twist, swap beef with black beans or plant-based crumbles for an equally delicious meal.
- Grate fresh cheese instead of using pre-made nacho cheese sauce for a more authentic and fresher flavor profile.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to make assembly quick and easy, especially when making multiple wraps for a crowd.
