Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade mix)
- 1/4 cup water
Cheese and Chips
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
Vegetables and Extras
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
Wraps and Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
- Nonstick cooking spray or additional oil for grilling
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well coated in seasoning.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable and easier to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay one tortilla flat and mentally divide it into four quadrants. Spread a spoonful of nacho cheese and some of the cooked taco beef on the bottom-left quadrant. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips on the top-left quadrant. Place diced tomatoes and jalapeños on the top-right quadrant. Add shredded lettuce to the bottom-right quadrant.
- Fold the Tortilla: Fold the bottom-left quadrant over the top-left quadrant, then fold this combined section over the top-right quadrant. Finally, fold down to the bottom-right quadrant, forming a compact, triangle-shaped layered wrap.
- Grill the Wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with nonstick spray or oil. Place the folded wraps seam side down and grill each side for 2–3 minutes until golden, crispy, and heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Optionally, pair with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite dips.
Notes
- Customize your fillings with additions like sour cream, guacamole, black beans, or onions to suit your taste.
- For a spicier kick, use hot taco seasoning or add chipotle sauce to the beef mixture.
- These wraps are excellent for meal prep and can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer without losing their crispiness.
