Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos
- 1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook it thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned and no longer pink inside, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Nacho Cheese Sauce: Stir in 1 cup of nacho cheese sauce into the cooked beef. Continue to cook and stir together until the cheese sauce is heated through and evenly coats the beef mixture.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan or skillet, warm each flour tortilla over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side until soft and pliable for easy wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread an even amount of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapenos on top of the beef mixture in each wrap.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly around the filling, making sure to fold in the sides to secure the filling inside. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy serving.
- Serve with Sour Cream: Place the wrap halves on plates and serve with 1/4 cup sour cream on the side for dipping or spreading as desired.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) for a healthier option and less grease.
- Adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your preferred spice level.
- For added flavor, consider warming the tortillas wrapped in foil in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Sour cream can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.
- To make this dish gluten free, use gluten free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
