Description
Cheesy Beef Stuffed Tortilla Wrap is a deliciously hearty dish where seasoned beef and creamy melted cheese are wrapped in soft tortillas and toasted to golden perfection. This meal is satisfying, easy to prepare, and perfect for both lunch and dinner.
Ingredients
- ground beef or beef cubes
- onion, diced
- garlic, minced
- olive oil
- taco seasoning or your preferred spice blend
- tortillas (flour or corn)
- cheddar or mozzarella cheese, shredded
- bell peppers, diced (optional)
- spinach or cilantro (optional)
- sour cream or salsa for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in ground beef (or cubed beef) and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add taco seasoning and a splash of water; simmer until well combined and slightly saucy.
- Lay tortillas flat. Spoon beef mixture onto one side of each tortilla, sprinkle generously with cheese, and add optional veggies if using.
- Fold tortillas tightly over the filling.
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast wraps on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, use black beans or lentils instead of beef.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
- For a breakfast style wrap, add scrambled eggs to the filling.
- For a low-carb option, use low-carb tortillas or lettuce leaves.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a skillet or in the oven to restore crispness. Microwave reheating works but may soften the tortilla.
- Leftover beef works well, such as shredded roast beef or steak.
- Cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend of cheese all melt nicely for this wrap.
- If you prefer to bake the wraps, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until crisp.
- To prevent the filling from falling out, avoid overfilling and fold the tortilla tightly.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas.
- Serve with a simple salad, rice, or roasted vegetables as sides.
- Adding rice or beans inside the wrap makes it more filling.
- You can prep the filling ahead and assemble the wraps just before toasting.
- Toast over medium heat and use a lightly oiled skillet for the perfect golden crust.
