Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4–6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • Optional: sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
    • Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
  2. Season:
    • Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare Tortillas:
    • Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  4. Assemble Wraps:
    • Place a few spoonfuls of cooked ground beef onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, and diced tomato. Add sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired.
  5. Wrap and Serve:
    • Fold the sides over and roll tightly. Serve immediately while warm.

Tips & Variations:

  • Add sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef for extra flavor.
  • Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier option.
  • For a crunchier texture, lightly toast the assembled wraps in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
