Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Measure out all components before starting cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart using a wooden spatula or cooking spoon.
- Cook beef for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until meat is completely browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle entire packet of taco seasoning over browned beef. Add 1/4 cup water and stir thoroughly to combine, allowing seasoning to coat meat evenly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer beef mixture for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and beef is well-seasoned.
- Warm tortillas in microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- Lay out each tortilla and spread a thin layer of sour cream in center of each wrap.
- Divide seasoned beef equally among tortillas, placing meat in center of each wrap.
- Top beef with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle shredded cheese over meat.
- Fold bottom of tortilla up, then fold sides inward, creating a tight wrap. Slice diagonally if desired.
- Serve immediately while beef is warm and cheese is slightly melted.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking. This will streamline the process and make it more enjoyable.
- Choose Quality Tortillas: Opt for large, soft tortillas that can hold all your delicious fillings without tearing. Flour tortillas work great for a softer wrap, while corn tortillas add a nice texture.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add your favorite toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or even black beans for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Don’t Rush the Beef: Make sure to cook the ground beef thoroughly and allow the taco seasoning to simmer properly. This ensures that the flavors meld beautifully, giving you a deliciously seasoned filling.
- Serve with Dips: Pair your wraps with extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side for a fun, interactive meal that everyone can enjoy.
- Wrap It Right: When folding your tortillas, make sure to create a tight wrap to prevent any fillings from spilling out. A diagonal slice adds a nice touch for presentation!
