It’s simple to make, and guaranteed to disappear fast!
A Little History
The humble tortilla dates back thousands of years, originating with the ancient civilizations of Mexico. It was the Aztecs and Mayans who first crafted flatbread from corn — the foundation for countless delicious dishes. Over time, tortillas evolved into what we now know as a staple in kitchens worldwide. Whether made from corn or flour, tortillas are incredibly versatile. Ground beef, a relatively recent addition, is the perfect match for wrapping up in a warm tortilla, adding a rich, savory filling that complements the subtle flavor of the flatbread.
Ingredients
For the Beef Filling:
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
½ cup tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
For the Wraps:
6 large flour or corn tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup guacamole or sliced avocado
¼ cup salsa (optional)
Method / Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Drain any excess fat from the pan.
Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Stir to combine.
Pour in the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate.
Spoon a generous portion of the seasoned beef mixture into the center of the tortilla.
Add a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese on top.
Add a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa if you like.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create your wrap.
Serve immediately, or slice in half for easy sharing!
Serving Suggestions
Pair your wraps with:
Crispy tortilla chips and salsa
A simple side salad with lime dressing
Mexican rice or refried beans for a heartier meal
A cold drink, like iced tea or margaritas (for the adults)!
Formation & Presentation
These wraps are as pleasing to the eyes as they are to the taste buds. For an extra touch of elegance, cut the wraps in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with extra cheese, fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a pop of color and flavor.
