Ingredients
- Ground beef
- Onion, finely chopped
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Large flour tortillas
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional garnishes: salsa, fresh cilantro, sour cream, guacamole
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Filling:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add the finely chopped onion and continue cooking until softened. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay each flour tortilla flat and spoon the seasoned beef mixture into the center.
- Sprinkle both shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the beef.
- Roll and Toast:
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted, turning as needed.
- Serve:
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh cilantro, salsa, or any desired toppings. Serve warm.
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to add ingredients like diced jalapeños for extra heat, or cooked and crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor.
- Storage: Leftover wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these wraps with a side of Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
