👩🍳 How to Make It: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water and simmer for 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza or tomato sauce across it, then top with a generous spoonful of the beef mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheeses, green onions, and bell peppers evenly.
Pro Tip: Don’t overfill, or it will be hard to roll tightly.
Step 3: Roll It Up
Starting from one side, gently roll the tortilla into a tight log, pressing lightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tops are golden brown.
Step 5: Slice & Serve
Let the wraps cool for a few minutes before slicing them into pinwheels. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce.
🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze before baking, wrapped tightly in foil. Thaw overnight and bake as directed.
Reheat: Pop them back in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
