Ingredients
Scale
- For the Beef Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Nacho Cheese Sauce:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- For Assembly:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, combine cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and milk over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Add cayenne pepper if desired.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- To assemble, place a generous scoop of beef filling in the center of each tortilla, followed by a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve immediately, or grill the wraps in a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Prepare the beef filling and cheese sauce a day in advance and store in the refrigerator. Reheat before assembling.
- Storage: Wrap leftovers in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or swap out the cheese for a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version.
