Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup nacho cheese sauce
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 2 tbsp chopped jalapeños
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Wrap and Extras:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, preparing to sear the ground beef until it develops a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper directly onto the beef, thoroughly mixing to ensure each morsel is evenly coated with robust, zesty flavors.
- Cook the seasoned beef for 6-8 minutes, continuously breaking it into small crumbles and stirring until no pink remains and a deep, caramelized texture emerges.
- Incorporate diced onions and jalapeños into the beef mixture, sautéing for an additional 2-3 minutes to soften and meld their vibrant, spicy characteristics.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to enhance pliability and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Layer the tortillas with the seasoned beef mixture, creating a hearty base for the wrap’s core components.
- Generously drizzle nacho cheese sauce over the beef, allowing it to cascade and integrate with the meat’s robust flavors.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese atop the beef, creating a melty, luxurious layer that adds creamy texture and depth.
- Distribute fresh diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro across the wrap, introducing bright, herbaceous notes and refreshing contrast.
- Dollop sour cream along the center, providing a cool, tangy counterpoint to the wrap’s spicy and rich elements.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll from the bottom to create a tight, compact wrap that securely contains all ingredients.
- Optional: Lightly grill the wrapped tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side to achieve a crisp, golden exterior and enhance overall flavor integration.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeño quantity or using milder pepper varieties for sensitive palates.
- Use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey for a healthier protein option that maintains robust flavor profile.
- Create gluten-free version by selecting corn tortillas and ensuring taco seasoning contains no wheat-based additives.
- Prepare beef mixture ahead of time and store in refrigerator for quick meal assembly during busy weeknights, maintaining freshness for 3-4 days.
