Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Base:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
- 1 cup (150 grams) shredded lettuce
- 1 cup (150 grams) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) sliced black olives (optional)
- Tortilla chips (crushed, optional for crunch)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium flame and crumble ground beef, cooking until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Discard accumulated fat, then sprinkle taco seasoning over meat and pour water, allowing mixture to simmer and thicken for approximately 4 minutes.
- Prepare tortillas by gently warming them in microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable and soft.
- Create a rich base layer by spreading nacho cheese sauce evenly across each tortilla’s surface.
- Layer seasoned beef centrally on tortilla, ensuring even distribution.
- Enhance wrap with crisp shredded lettuce, fresh diced tomatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, zesty jalapeños, and tangy black olives.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the filling.
- Execute precise wrapping technique by folding tortilla sides inward, then rolling tightly to secure ingredients.
- Complete presentation with a dollop of cool sour cream alongside the wrap or drizzle directly over filling before final roll.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately to maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of jalapeños or choosing mild taco seasoning for sensitive palates.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version of the wrap.
- Make ahead by preparing seasoned beef and chopping vegetables in advance, reducing total cooking time and simplifying meal prep.
- Enhance flavor by using homemade taco seasoning or adding a splash of lime juice to brighten the overall taste profile.
