Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef

Description

Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef are a crispy, cheesy, and satisfying meal made with seasoned beef rolled inside soft tortillas and cooked until golden. These wraps are perfect for quick dinners, snacks, or party food. They’re easy to customize with different fillings and pair well with dips or sides.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 4–6 large flour tortillas

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)

  • 2 green onions or chopped parsley (optional)

  • 1–2 tablespoons oil or butter

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional seasonings:

  • Garlic powder

  • Paprika or chili powder

  • Italian seasoning or taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef
    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

  2. Season
    Add diced onion, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Cook until onions are soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Assemble Wraps
    Lay tortillas flat. Spread an even layer of cooked beef on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and green onions or parsley.

  4. Roll
    Roll tortillas tightly into wraps or burrito-style rolls.

  5. Cook Until Crispy
    Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook until golden brown on all sides and cheese is melted.

  6. Serve
    Slice in half and serve warm.

Notes

  • Let the beef cool slightly before rolling to prevent tortillas from tearing.

  • Use low-moisture cheese to avoid sogginess.

  • Wraps crisp best in a non-stick or cast-iron pan.

Tips for Best Results

  • Brush tortillas lightly with butter for extra crispiness.

  • Don’t overfill—this helps keep wraps tight.

  • Add cooked bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.

  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or yogurt dip.
