Here’s a simple and tasty way to make tortilla wraps with ground beef. You can make it quick for a weekday meal or a fun dinner.
Ingredients (for 4 wraps)
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 4 large tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for spice)
- 1/2 tsp cumin (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Lettuce, tomato, or other veggies for topping
- Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain any excess fat if needed. - Add flavor:
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the beef. Cook 3–4 minutes until the onion softens. Then stir in paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook another 2 minutes so the spices bloom. - Warm the tortillas:
While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft. - Assemble the wraps:
Place some beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and any other toppings you like. - Wrap it up:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
✨ Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of lime juice or a pinch of smoked paprika.
- You can also add beans or corn for a heartier wrap.
- If you like spicy, a few dashes of hot sauce inside the wrap works great.
