Ingredients
For the Beef Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Creamy Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Assembling the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ¼ cup sliced pickles (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it starts to brown. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Next, season the beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Lower the heat and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes to allow the spices to meld into the meat.
While the beef is cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and lemon juice in a small bowl. This sauce is what takes the wraps to the next level! It’s tangy, creamy, and perfectly complements the seasoned beef.
Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese onto the tortilla, then add a generous portion of the seasoned beef. Drizzle a spoonful of the creamy sauce over the beef.
Now, add your toppings—shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a few sliced pickles if you like that extra crunch. Fresh cilantro is a great touch for added freshness.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. For extra flavor and crispiness, heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wrap seam-side down. Toast for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Slice the wraps in half, drizzle with extra creamy sauce, and serve immediately while they’re warm and cheesy! These wraps pair beautifully with a side of fries, a fresh salad, or even a bowl of soup.
Notes
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the sauce.
- For extra crunch, you can add crushed tortilla chips inside the wrap before rolling it up.
