Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
Cheese and Sauce:
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium flame and cook ground beef until thoroughly browned, breaking meat into small crumbles and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Prepare tortillas by warming them for 15-20 seconds in microwave or briefly on a hot skillet to enhance flexibility.
- Create a smooth base layer of nacho cheese sauce across each tortilla surface, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer the seasoned beef generously along the center of each tortilla, leaving room for additional toppings.
- Sprinkle fresh diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, crisp lettuce, and finely chopped onions over the beef.
- Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll from one side to create a compact wrap.
- For a golden, crispy exterior, place wraps on a preheated grill or skillet for 2-3 minutes, rotating to achieve even browning.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeño quantity or using milder pepper varieties for sensitive palates.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based protein crumbles for healthier alternative options.
- Pre-warm tortillas briefly prevents cracking and ensures easier wrapping without breaking.
- Consider using low-fat cheese sauce and lean meat to create a more diet-friendly version of the wrap.
