Ah yes 🌯✨ tortilla wraps with ground beef—basically a simple, crave-worthy burrito/taco hybrid. Let’s make a quick, flavorful version that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
🌯 Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef

- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

👩‍🍳 Instructions
- Cook beef

- Brown until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add aromatics & spices
- Sauté onion and garlic with beef until softened.
- Stir in paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 min for flavors to meld.
- Warm tortillas
- Heat in a dry pan, microwave, or oven until soft and pliable.
- Assemble wraps

🔥 Pro Tips
- Less is more: don’t overfill the tortilla, or it’ll burst.
- Layer cheese first: melts into beef and helps everything stick together.
- Extra flavor: squeeze lime over beef before wrapping.
- Meal prep version: wrap individually in foil, store in fridge, reheat in oven or skillet.
Variations
- Tex-Mex style: add black beans, corn, and salsa.
- Spicy kick: chipotle in adobo or hot sauce in beef mix.
- Cheesy melt: sprinkle extra cheese on top, wrap in foil, and bake 5 min at 180°C / 350°F.
- Breakfast twist: add scrambled eggs to the beef filling.
