Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef

Here is a quick, flavorful recipe for Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps. They are packed with savory seasoned beef, melted cheese, and your favorite fresh toppings, making them a fantastic weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning)
• ¼ cup water or beef broth
• 4 to 6 large flour tortilla wraps
• 1 ½ cups cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, shredded
• Optional toppings: Lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft and translucent (about 6–8 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
2. Season: Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the taco seasoning and water (or broth). Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the beef is rich and flavorful.
3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave them under a damp paper towel for 20 seconds, so they become pliable and easy to roll.
4. Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and any optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.
5. Fold and Crisp (Optional): Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito style wrap. Optional: Place the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet with a touch of butter or oil for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
6. Serve: Cut in half diagonally and enjoy immediately!

Pro Tip: If you want an extra layer of crunch, tuck a handful of crushed tortilla chips or a small tostada shell right inside the wrap before rolling it up.
