Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (lb) ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese
Seasoning and Liquid:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
Optional Toppings:
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning into the meat, pour water, and thoroughly mix until the liquid reduces and coats the beef evenly, creating a rich flavor profile.
- Gently warm tortillas until pliable – either 15-20 seconds in microwave or briefly on a hot griddle to prevent cracking.
- Create a generous base layer of nacho cheese directly in the tortilla’s center, spreading evenly to ensure consistent taste in each bite.
- Layer the seasoned beef mixture atop the nacho cheese, maintaining a centered position for optimal wrapping.
- Generously scatter shredded cheddar cheese over the warm meat to allow slight melting.
- Enhance the wrap with fresh garnishes: crisp diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of cool sour cream.
- Carefully fold both side edges inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top, creating a secure seal.
- Slice diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier wrap option.
- Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of taco seasoning or using a mild/hot variety.
- For a low-carb alternative, swap flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb tortilla wraps.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time for quick assembly during busy weeknights, making meal preparation a breeze.
