Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Spoon or spatula for stirring
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board (for veggies)
- Serving platter or plate for wrapping
Directions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/2 cup of water to the beef. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the beef has absorbed the seasoning and the mixture is thickened.
Step 2: Prepare the Wraps
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Once the beef is ready, add a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Step 3: Add the Cheese and Toppings
- Pour a generous amount of nacho cheese sauce over the beef, making sure it’s evenly covered.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, sour cream, and jalapeños (if desired).
Step 4: Roll the Wraps
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom, creating a tight wrap.
- Repeat for the remaining tortillas and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable snack.
Tips for the Perfect Nacho Cheese Beef Wrap
- Customizing Your Wrap: Don’t be afraid to add your favorite ingredients to personalize this recipe! Avocados, guacamole, or even black beans would all make great additions. If you love a little heat, top with extra jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Make It Spicy: For a spicier version, opt for a spicier nacho cheese sauce or add diced chili peppers or salsa to the beef mixture.
- Homemade Taco Seasoning: If you prefer to avoid store-bought seasoning, making your own taco seasoning is quick and easy. Just combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Make It Vegetarian: Swap out the ground beef for black beans, lentils, or a plant-based meat substitute to make a vegetarian version of these wraps.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Storage: If you have any leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: To reheat, simply place the wraps in a skillet over low heat, covering with a lid to keep the tortillas soft. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your microwave’s power.
