These Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef are a family favorite at our house!

by

6–8 medium-sized flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup grated cheddar or a cheese blend
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup guacamole or sliced avocado
Hot sauce (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Before you start cooking, get all your ingredients prepped and ready. Chop the onion and garlic, wash and shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and grate the cheese. Having everything laid out makes the process faster and more enjoyable.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink—about 7–8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat, if needed.
Step 3: Season the Beef
Once the meat is browned, stir in the tomato paste and spices (smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper).
Mix well and let the beef simmer for another 3–4 minutes to absorb the flavors. If it looks dry, add a splash of water or beef broth to keep it juicy.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
While the beef is simmering, warm your tortillas:

You can heat them individually in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side.
Alternatively, wrap them in foil and warm them in a 180°C (350°F) oven for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Now the fun part—assembly!
