Description
Crunchy Beef Cheese Wraps are delicious tortillas filled with seasoned beef and melted cheese, baked until golden and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas
- ¼ cup melted butter or cooking oil (for coating)
- Sour cream (for dipping)
- Salsa (for topping)
- Fresh chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned with no pink spots. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer while stirring occasionally for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix in both cheeses until well combined with the beef mixture.
- Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the beef-cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in sides and roll tightly like burritos.
- Place wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking tray. Brush generously with melted butter or oil.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until wraps are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes
- To make the tortillas more pliable, briefly microwave them or heat them on a skillet.
- Add jalapeños or chili flakes to the filling if you prefer a spicier version.
- Store leftover wraps in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven for best results.
