Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Wrap Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garnishes:
- 1 cup salsa
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned, using a spatula to crumble the meat. Eliminate excess grease.
- Incorporate finely diced onions into the skillet, sautéing until translucent and tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Infuse the beef mixture with aromatic spices: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow spices to meld with meat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Arrange flour tortillas on a clean work surface, creating a smooth preparation area.
- Distribute the seasoned beef evenly across the center of each tortilla, ensuring balanced coverage.
- Generously sprinkle a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the warm beef mixture.
- Carefully roll each tortilla, tucking in side edges to create a secure, compact wrap.
- Warm a clean skillet over medium heat and position wraps seam-side down. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until exterior becomes crispy and golden, with cheese melting internally.
- Present the wraps accompanied by optional garnishes such as fresh salsa, chopped cilantro, sour cream, or creamy guacamole for enhanced flavor profiles.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting chili powder for mild or bold flavor preferences.
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent soggy wraps and ensure crispy exterior when grilling.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier protein alternatives.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process and reduce overall kitchen time.
