Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Creamy Sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Garnishes (optional)
- Chopped lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Sauté the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the wrap from becoming greasy.
- Season the Beef: Sprinkle paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the cooked beef. Stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy, creating a tangy sauce to complement the savory beef.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable, making them easier to wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place an even portion of the seasoned beef on each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, then drizzle with the creamy sauce. Add chopped lettuce and diced tomatoes for freshness and extra texture if desired.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold and roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a wrap. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Using lean ground beef reduces excess fat and makes the wraps less greasy.
- For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the creamy sauce.
- These wraps can be customized with your favorite veggies, such as sliced bell peppers or avocado slices.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free alternatives or lettuce wraps.
