Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef

Perfect! Let’s make delicious, easy tortilla wraps with ground beef—great for lunch, dinner, or a quick weeknight meal. Here’s a step-by-step recipe:

Ingredients (for 4 wraps)

• 4 large tortillas (flour or gluten-free if needed)

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)

• ½ tsp cumin

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp tomato paste or 2 tbsp tomato sauce

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)

• Optional toppings: lettuce, sliced tomato, avocado, sour cream, salsa, jalapeños

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Beef

1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned.

2. Add onion and garlic → cook 3–4 min until soft.

3. Stir in paprika, chili, cumin, salt, and pepper.

4. Add tomato paste or sauce → cook 2–3 min until mixture is slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.

2️⃣ Warm the Tortillas

• Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, 20–30 sec per side, or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.

3️⃣ Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay a tortilla flat.

2. Spoon a generous amount of ground beef mixture in the center.

3. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add any toppings you like.

4. Fold sides over, then roll tightly from the bottom.

4️⃣ Optional Step: Crisp the Wrap

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down. Cook 1–2 min per side until golden and slightly crispy.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

• Add a side of rice, beans, or a simple salad for a complete meal.

💡 Tip: You can mix in beans, corn, or bell peppers with the beef for extra texture and flavor.

If you want, I can also give a super quick 15-minute skillet version where the whole wrap is cooked with cheese inside for a melty, crispy finish.
