Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef

Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef

Ingredients:

For the Beef Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade — see below)

• 1/4 cup water

Wrap Ingredients (customizable):

• 4–6 large flour tortillas

• Shredded lettuce

• Diced tomatoes

• Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)

• Sour cream or Greek yogurt

• Salsa or hot sauce

• Guacamole or sliced avocado

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:

   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook 2–3 minutes until soft.

   • Add ground beef and garlic. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.

   • Drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

2. Warm the Tortillas:

   • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds.

3. Assemble the Wraps:

   • Lay out the tortilla. Add a scoop of beef, then top with your favorite fillings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, etc.

   • Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and tuck as you go to make a wrap.

4. Optional: Toast the Wraps

   • For extra crispiness, grill the wraps seam-side down in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and sealed.

🌮 Homemade Taco Seasoning (instead of a packet):

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/4 tsp oregano

• Salt & pepper to taste

• (Add a pinch of cayenne for heat)
