Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Toppings and Garnishes:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high temperature and thoroughly cook ground beef until no pink remains, breaking meat into small crumbles.
- Drain excess grease completely from the beef and return to pan.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over meat and pour water, stirring to distribute evenly. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until liquid reduces and meat is well-coated.
- Warm tortillas slightly to increase flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Place tortilla on flat surface and spread a generous layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center.
- Carefully spoon seasoned beef mixture directly onto the cheese sauce, creating an even layer.
- Distribute fresh, crisp lettuce across the beef, ensuring even coverage.
- Scatter diced tomatoes over lettuce for added freshness and color.
- Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips to introduce a satisfying crunch.
- Optional: Drizzle additional nacho cheese sauce for extra flavor intensity.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then tightly roll from bottom to create a compact wrap.
- Slice diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Accompany with sour cream or preferred dipping sauce for enhanced enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that keeps the protein-packed flavor intact.
- Opt for whole wheat tortillas to boost nutritional value and add extra fiber to your meal.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium taco seasoning and controlling the amount of cheese sauce for a lighter wrap.
- Enhance meal prep by cooking beef mixture in advance and storing separately, allowing quick assembly when hunger strikes.
