🧀 Step 2: Prep Your Toppings
While the beef simmers:
- Grate the cheese.
- Chop tomatoes, shred lettuce, slice onions.
- Set out sour cream and hot sauce.
🌯 Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- In the center, layer:
- 2–3 tablespoons of ground beef mixture
- A sprinkle of shredded cheese
- Lettuce, tomatoes, onions (and any other toppings)
- A dollop of sour cream or sauce
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling.
- Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a wrap.
🧈 Step 4: Toast for the Twist!
This is where the magic happens:
- Heat a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the wrap seam-side down and press lightly.
- Toast each side for 1–2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove, slice in half (if desired), and serve hot.
🥄 Serving Suggestions
- Serve with guacamole, salsa, or nacho chips on the side.
- Pair with a simple corn salad or Spanish rice for a full meal.
- For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add beans: Black beans or refried beans make it heartier.
- Go spicy: Add jalapeños or chipotle sauce for heat.
- Make it cheesy: Add a layer of melted cheese inside the wrap before rolling.
- Make-ahead friendly: Cook the beef in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Double wrap: Use two tortillas for extra structure and crunch.
