- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional Components:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or a cheese blend
- Optional toppings: sliced pickles, jalapenos, avocado
Instructions
- Craft a flavorful foundation by sautéing diced onions in olive oil until translucent, releasing their aromatic essence.
- Introduce minced garlic and allow it to dance in the pan, releasing its pungent fragrance for a brief moment.
- Incorporate ground beef, methodically crumbling and browning the meat until no pink remains, ensuring a thorough and even cooking process.
- Elevate the beef’s profile by generously sprinkling a harmonious blend of spices – paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder – complemented by salt and pepper.
- Lower the heat and gently fold shredded cheddar into the seasoned meat, allowing the cheese to melt and create a luxurious, creamy texture.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, and a refined selection of spices to craft a velvety, tangy sauce that will enhance the wrap’s complexity.
- Position a tortilla as your canvas, spreading a luscious layer of the creamy sauce across its surface.
- Create a vibrant base with crisp lettuce and juicy diced tomatoes, providing a fresh counterpoint to the rich meat.
- Generously distribute the cheesy beef mixture, then sprinkle additional mozzarella for an extra layer of indulgence.
- Execute a precise folding technique: tuck in the sides, then roll from the bottom to create a compact, secure wrap.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately, preserving the wrap’s integrity and temperature.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version that maintains incredible flavor and protein content.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding diced bell peppers or spinach to the beef mixture, boosting vegetable intake without compromising taste.
- Ensure meat reaches safe internal temperature of 160°F to prevent foodborne illness, using a meat thermometer for precise cooking.
- Warm tortillas briefly before assembling to improve flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping, creating a seamless, professional-looking result.
