👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic → sauté until softened.
Add ground beef and cook until browned.
Drain any excess fat.
2. Add Flavor
Stir in:
-
bell pepper
-
tomato paste
-
tomato sauce (or salsa)
-
paprika
-
cumin
-
chili powder
-
salt & pepper
Let it simmer 5–7 minutes, until thickened and saucy.
3. Add Cheese
Turn off heat and mix in half the shredded cheese.
It should melt into the beef, making it rich and creamy.
4. Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a pan or microwave until soft and flexible.
5. Build the Wraps
Layer each tortilla with:
-
A spoon of sour cream
-
A scoop of beef filling
-
Lettuce
-
Tomatoes
-
Extra cheese
Fold them like a burrito.
6. Toast (Optional but AMAZING)
Heat a clean pan and toast each wrap 1–2 minutes per side until:
-
golden
-
crispy
-
the cheese melts inside
This step makes a HUGE difference!
⭐ Tips for the Best Tortilla Wraps
✔ Use salsa instead of tomato sauce for a Mexican-style twist.
✔ Add corn or black beans for extra flavor and texture.
✔ Make ahead: Prep the beef filling and store for up to 3 days.
✔ Make it spicy: Add jalapeños, chili flakes, or hot sauce.
✔ Make it cheesy: Add a layer of cheese directly on the tortilla before adding the beef.
