Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 lb ground beef (or your choice of protein)
• 1 small onion, diced (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Mexican blend)
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• Chopped cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
• 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
• Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:
   
   • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
   • Once the beef is cooked through, add the diced onion (if using) and garlic. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
   • Add the taco seasoning and a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup), and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and is well-seasoned. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Tortillas:
   
   • Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and spread a thin layer of sour cream (if using) in the center of each one.
5. Assemble the Wraps:
   
   • Spoon a generous amount of the ground beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
   • Sprinkle with shredded cheese, and add chopped cilantro or parsley if desired.
7. Roll the Tortillas:
   
   • Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside.
9. Cook the Wraps:
   
   • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the wraps seam-side down.
   • Cook the wraps for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches, depending on how many wraps you’re making.
11. Serve:
    
    • Once the wraps are crispy and the cheese is melted inside, remove them from the skillet and slice them into halves or thirds.
    • Serve with a side of salsa, extra sour cream, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.

Tips:

• You can add some sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
• To make these wraps even more flavorful, consider using a mix of cheeses or adding a few spoonfuls of refried beans for extra richness.
• If you’re short on time, you can use pre-cooked or shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
