- For the Ground Beef Filling:
- 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Wrap Assembly:
- 4–6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional)
- 1 avocado or guacamole (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil (if needed) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart as it browns. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the tomato paste (if using), cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- While the beef cooks, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds until pliable.
- To assemble, place a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), salsa (or hot sauce), and avocado (or guacamole) as desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or hot sauce.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice before wrapping.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like jalapeños, olives, or black beans for variety.
