Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional, for spice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Once the beef is fully browned, drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Add the Taco Seasoning
Return the skillet to the heat and sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, stir well, and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid reduces and the beef is coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side or microwave them for 15 seconds each. This makes the tortillas pliable and easier to wrap.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by spreading a generous layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center. Add a portion of the seasoned ground beef, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, and pickled jalapeños, if desired. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions.
Step 5: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. For extra security, you can wrap the bottom half in parchment paper or foil, especially if serving to-go.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps immediately while warm. Pair with a side of tortilla chips, guacamole, or salsa for a complete Tex-Mex meal.
