Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (453.6 g) ground beef
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded lettuce
- 1 cup (240 ml) diced tomatoes
- ½ cup (120 ml) diced onions
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Ketchup, for serving (optional)
- Mustard, for serving (optional)
- Pickles, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sizzle ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, crumbling and seasoning with salt and pepper until thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Tortilla Setup: Position a flour tortilla flat, creating an even wrap foundation with sufficient border space for folding.
- Layering Process: Distribute warm beef across tortilla center, followed by melting cheddar cheese that blankets the meat evenly.
- Vegetable Integration: Arrange crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and zesty red onions atop the cheese layer, creating a vibrant and textural foundation.
- Condiment Enhancement: Drizzle preferred sauces like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise across the vegetable layer for additional flavor complexity.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold bottom tortilla edge upward, tuck side edges inward, and roll tightly to form a compact, secure package with sealed edges.
- Finishing Touch: Grill wrap in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, rotating to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serving Presentation: Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and plate with complementary condiments, ensuring a visually appealing and delectable meal.
Notes
- Drain Fat Thoroughly: Remove excess grease to prevent soggy wraps and maintain a clean, crisp texture.
- Warm Cheese Melting Trick: Spread cheese directly on hot beef to create a natural, gooey melting effect that enhances flavor.
- Wrap Folding Technique: Fold bottom edge first, then sides, rolling tightly to prevent ingredients from falling out during cooking and eating.
- Crispy Exterior Secret: Grill wrap seam-side down to seal edges and create a beautiful golden-brown crunch that elevates the entire eating experience.
