Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- ½ cup onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 (10 ounces) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel) (drained)
- 1 packet (or 2 tablespoons) taco seasoning
- ½ cup black beans (drained & rinsed, optional)
- ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)
- ¼ cup water
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Sliced jalapenos
- Diced avocado
Toppings and Extras:
- ¼ cup sour cream (for spreading, optional)
- ¼ cup salsa or taco sauce (for extra flavor, optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for crisping the wrap, optional)
- Extra sour cream & salsa
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium temperature and brown ground beef with chopped onions, ensuring meat is thoroughly cooked and crumbled.
- Eliminate excess fat from the skillet by carefully draining the grease.
- Introduce minced garlic, taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn into the meat mixture.
- Pour water into the skillet and allow the ingredients to combine and simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and all components are evenly heated.
- Remove skillet from heat and let the filling rest momentarily to allow flavors to meld together.
- Warm tortillas briefly to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into center of each tortilla, leaving space around edges for folding.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot filling for additional melting and flavor.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll from bottom to create a secure, compact wrap.
- Optional: Place wraps in a preheated skillet to create a golden, crispy exterior if desired.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, healthier protein option that still delivers robust flavor.
- Customize heat levels by selecting mild, medium, or hot taco seasoning to match personal spice preferences without compromising taste.
- Drain and rinse black beans to reduce sodium content and prevent wrap filling from becoming too watery during cooking.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach to increase micronutrient intake and vegetable serving.
