Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or DIY blend: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 cup pizza or tomato sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

How to Make It: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water and simmer for 5 minutes.

Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza or tomato sauce across it, then top with a generous spoonful of the beef mixture.

Sprinkle shredded cheeses, green onions, and bell peppers evenly.

Pro Tip:

Don’t overfill the tortillas or they’ll be difficult to roll tightly.

Step 3: Roll It Up

Starting from one side, gently roll the tortilla into a tight log, pressing lightly to seal.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter for a golden crispy finish.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the tops are golden brown.

Step 5: Slice & Serve

Allow the wraps to cool for a few minutes before slicing into pinwheels.

Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with:

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Cheese dip
  • Ranch dressing
