Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs ground beef 80/20, or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based meat
  • 10 large flour tortillas or corn tortillas for gluten-free, low-carb wraps for keto
  • 2.5 cups nacho cheese sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 5 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2.5 cups diced tomatoes fresh or canned, drained
  • 2.5 cups shredded lettuce romaine or iceberg
  • 1.25 cups sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup jalapeños sliced (optional, for spice)
  • 1.25 cups salsa mild, medium, or hot
  • 1.25 cups shredded cheddar cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water, stir, and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave (wrap in a damp paper towel and heat for 20 seconds) to make them pliable.
  3. Prepare the Nacho Cheese: Warm nacho cheese sauce in a saucepan over low heat or microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring until smooth. For homemade, melt 2.5 cups of cheddar with 1/2 cup milk and 2 tsp of cornstarch over low heat.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Spread 1/4 cup nacho cheese down the center of each tortilla. Add 1/4 cup seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños (if using). Top with a pinch of shredded cheddar.
  5. Wrap It Up: Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to close. Repeat for remaining wraps.
  6. Optional—Grill the Wraps: Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate assembled wraps for up to 24 hours or freeze for 2 months (omit fresh toppings for freezing).
  • Substitutions: Use ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat. Swap flour tortillas for corn (gluten-free) or lettuce wraps (low-carb).
  • Make It Spicy: Add cayenne or hot sauce to the beef.
  • Keep Wraps Crisp: Drain tomatoes and salsa well, layer wet ingredients in the center, and grill wraps for a crispy texture.
