Ingredients:

For the Beef Filling:

  • Ground beef: 1 lb (450 g)
  • Onion (finely chopped): 1 small
  • Garlic (minced): 2 cloves
  • Taco seasoning: 2 tbsp
  • Water: ¼ cup (60 ml)
  • Nacho cheese sauce: 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

  • Large flour tortillas: 4-6
  • Shredded lettuce: 1 cup
  • Diced tomatoes: 1 cup
  • Sour cream: ½ cup (optional)
  • Tortilla chips (crushed): 1 cup
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup (optional)
  • Jalapeño slices (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the beef:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.
  2. Season the beef:
    Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well to coat the beef. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm the nacho cheese sauce:
    In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the nacho cheese sauce until smooth and warm. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the wraps:
    Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of the nacho cheese sauce in the center of each tortilla. Add a portion of the seasoned beef mixture on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
  5. Add crunch:
    Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the beef mixture for added crunch. You can also add shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices for extra flavor.
  6. Wrap it up:
    Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the fillings inside.
  7. Serve and enjoy:
    Serve the wraps immediately with extra nacho cheese sauce or salsa on the side for dipping.

Tips for Success:

  • Warm tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
  • Customize fillings: Add ingredients like black beans, corn, or avocado to make the wraps heartier and more flavorful.
  • Crispy option: If you want a crispy wrap, lightly toast the wrapped tortilla on a skillet for a golden, crispy exterior.

Recommendations:

  • Serving suggestions: Pair the wraps with a side of guacamole, salsa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • Storage: Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
