Ingredients
For the ground beef filling:
- 500g (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For assembling the wraps:
- 6–8 medium flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup grated cheddar or cheese blend
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup guacamole or sliced avocado
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by prepping your ingredients. Chop onions and garlic, wash and shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and grate the cheese. Having everything ready makes cooking smoother and faster.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 3: Season the Beef
- Once browned, stir in the tomato paste and spices — paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes so the flavors meld together. Add a splash of water or broth if it gets too dry.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side.
- Or wrap them in foil and heat in a 350°F (180°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the seasoned beef into the center.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.
- Add hot sauce for a spicy touch, then sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
Step 6: Fold and Serve
- Fold up the bottom, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve warm — you can secure with a toothpick if needed.
Tips and Variations
- Spice it up: Add jalapeños or extra chili powder for more kick.
- Make it hearty: Add rice or beans to the filling for extra substance.
- Low-carb version: Swap tortillas for large lettuce leaves.
- Meal prep friendly: Cook and freeze the beef for quick future meals.
