🌯 Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps

🥩 Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, if beef is lean)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika

• ½ tsp chili powder (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 tbsp tomato paste or ½ cup salsa (optional for moisture and flavor)

Wrap fixings:

• 4–6 flour tortillas

• Shredded lettuce

• Diced tomatoes

• Sliced avocado or guacamole

• Grated cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

• Sour cream or Greek yogurt

• Hot sauce or salsa (optional)

🔥 Instructions:

1. Cook the beef filling:

   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 3–4 minutes until soft.

   • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

   • Add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

   • Drain excess fat if needed.

   • Stir in cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and tomato paste (or salsa). Cook for 2–3 more minutes until well combined.

2. Warm the tortillas:

   • Heat them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in the oven for 5–10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

3. Assemble the wraps:

   • Lay out a tortilla, add a spoonful of ground beef, then layer on toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, and sauce.

   • Fold the bottom up, then the sides in, and roll tightly like a burrito.

4. Optional — Toast the wrap:

   • For extra crunch, lightly toast the wrap in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side after rolling.

🧠 Pro Tips:

• Want a healthier version? Use whole wheat tortillas and swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.

• Want to prep ahead? Make the beef mixture and keep it refrigerated for up to 4 days.

• Turn this into a burrito bowl: serve the beef and toppings over rice or lettuce instead of in a wrap.
