Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) lean ground beef
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
Produce and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo (optional)
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, crumbling the meat thoroughly while cooking. Drain accumulated grease completely.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef and pour water, stirring to combine. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Incorporate diced bell peppers and onions into the seasoned beef mixture. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften and release their aromatic flavors.
- Warm tortillas slightly to enhance flexibility. Spread an even layer of beef and vegetable mixture across each tortilla’s center.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese over the beef, ensuring complete coverage. Fold tortilla edges inward, then roll tightly to create compact wraps.
- Arrange wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until edges turn crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Slice diagonally and garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or pico de gallo as desired.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of taco seasoning or using a mild/hot variety to suit different taste preferences.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version of the wrap.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make this a super quick weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
- Use whole wheat tortillas or low-carb alternatives to make the dish more diet-friendly and nutritionally balanced.
