Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup salsa
Wrap Assembly
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil and Onions: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary to avoid greasiness.
- Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Then add the salsa and simmer the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine well.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas according to the package instructions, either in a microwave or on a skillet, until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a spoonful of the nacho cheese sauce down the center of each tortilla. Top with the seasoned beef mixture, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose all the fillings. Serve the wraps warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Ground turkey can be used instead of beef for a lighter option.
