Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef (Serves 4)

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp cumin

• Salt & pepper to taste

• ½ cup tomato sauce or salsa (optional, for moisture)

• Optional toppings:

  • Shredded lettuce

  • Diced tomatoes

  • Grated cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • Sliced jalapeños or avocado

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.

   • Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

   • Add tomato sauce or salsa if using. Let it simmer 2–3 minutes for flavors to combine.

4. Warm the Tortillas

   • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20–30 seconds until pliable.

5. Assemble Wraps

   • Spoon the beef mixture into the center of each tortilla.

   • Add desired toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, or avocado.

   • Fold or roll the tortilla to enclose the filling.

Tips & Variations

• Cheesy Beef Wraps: Add shredded cheese on top of hot beef so it melts.
