Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 large tortillas
Seasoning and Spices:
- 1 packet (2.25 ounces / 63.8 grams) taco seasoning
Garnishes and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Instructions
- In a hot skillet, sizzle diced onions and bell peppers in olive oil until they become translucent and fragrant, releasing their natural sweetness.
- Introduce ground beef to the pan, breaking it into crumbly pieces and browning thoroughly to develop rich, caramelized flavors.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat, stirring to distribute evenly, and add a small amount of water to help blend the spices and create a savory sauce.
- Gently warm tortillas on a griddle or in the microwave to enhance their pliability and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Assemble each wrap by laying down a generous portion of the seasoned beef mixture as the hearty base.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the warm meat, allowing it to slightly melt and create a creamy texture.
- Layer crisp, fresh lettuce and additional chopped vegetables for a vibrant crunch and nutritional boost.
- Drizzle cool sour cream and zesty salsa across the top for added tang and moisture.
- Carefully roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides to create a secure, compact wrap that holds all the delicious ingredients.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of warm, spicy, and fresh flavors.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier wrap.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for more flavor depth.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to make assembly quick and seamless during cooking.
- Consider making a vegetarian version by substituting beef with black beans or plant-based crumbles for dietary flexibility.
