- 1 lb ground beef - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1 cup diced bell peppers (mixed colors) - 1/2 cup diced onion - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon cumin - 1 teaspoon paprika - 1 teaspoon chili powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 4 large flour tortillas - 1/4 cup sour cream - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish) - Cooking oil When you make Cheesy Ground Beef Delight Wrap, start with fresh ingredients. Quality beef makes a big difference. I like using 80/20 ground beef for a good balance of flavor and fat. The cheddar cheese is a must for that melty goodness. You can use different types of cheese, but cheddar adds great flavor. Bell peppers add color and crunch. I recommend using a mix of red, yellow, and green for a vibrant look. Diced onions and minced garlic bring a sweet and savory taste to the beef. Spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder give it warmth and depth. You can adjust these to match your spice level. Salt and pepper enhance the flavors, so don't skip these. For serving, I love a dollop of sour cream. It cools the wrap perfectly. If you enjoy herbs, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a pop of freshness. To wrap it all up, you'll need large flour tortillas. They hold everything together well. Now that you have the ingredients, you're ready to make this tasty meal! - Calories per serving: 450 - Macronutrient breakdown: - Protein: 25g - Fat: 30g - Carbohydrates: 30g This meal packs a good amount of protein and fat, making it filling. The carbs come mainly from the tortillas and vegetables. If you want to make it lighter, you can adjust the amount of cheese or use a smaller tortilla. 1. Sautéing the onions and garlic Start by heating a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes until they smell great and turn soft. This step builds a nice flavor base for your wrap. 2. Cooking the ground beef Next, increase the heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break the beef apart with a spatula as it cooks. Brown the beef for about 5-7 minutes. You want it nice and brown, not pink. 3. Adding spices and bell peppers Now stir in 1 cup of diced bell peppers along with 1 teaspoon each of cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook this mix for another 3-4 minutes. The peppers should soften and take on all those tasty spices. 4. Melting the cheese Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture. Lower the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes. The cheese will melt perfectly, creating a gooey filling. 5. Wrapping and serving instructions While the cheese melts, warm 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. This makes them easier to fold. To wrap, place a generous spoonful of the cheesy beef mix in the center of a tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you like. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filling. Now you have a delicious Cheesy Ground Beef Delight Wrap ready to enjoy! For the full recipe, check the details above. - Choosing the right ground beef: Use 80/20 ground beef. This mix gives enough fat for flavor and keeps it juicy. Leaner beef can dry out. - Best practices for melting cheese: Shred your cheese for quicker melting. Cover the skillet to trap heat. This helps the cheese melt evenly and gets gooey. - How to warm tortillas properly: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. This makes them soft and easy to roll. - Visual appeal suggestions: Cut the wraps in half diagonally. Place them on a bright plate for a pop of color. It makes the dish look more inviting. - Serving suggestions with sides: Serve with a small bowl of sour cream for dipping. Fresh salsa or guacamole also pairs well. Add some crunchy chips for texture. {{image_2}} You can swap out cheese for your favorite types. Try mozzarella or pepper jack for a kick. Both melt well and add unique flavors. You can also use cream cheese for a rich touch. For veggies, feel free to mix it up. You can add diced zucchini or corn for sweetness. Spinach or kale can add a healthy crunch. Carrots provide a nice color and extra nutrients. Need gluten-free? Use corn tortillas instead of flour ones. They hold the filling well and add a nice texture. If you want vegetarian or vegan options, replace beef with lentils or black beans. Use dairy-free cheese and sour cream. You can enjoy the same great taste while being plant-based. To store leftovers, let your wraps cool first. Wrap them in plastic wrap or foil. You can also place them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. When ready to eat, just take them out and reheat. Can you freeze the wraps? Yes, you can freeze the wraps! They freeze well and make for an easy meal later. To do this, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. They will last for up to 2 months in the freezer. Best method for reheating from frozen To reheat, you can bake or microwave them. If baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap and place the wraps on a baking sheet. Heat for about 20-25 minutes. For the microwave, unwrap the wrap and place it on a plate. Heat for about 2-3 minutes, checking to ensure it’s warm all the way through.

I love serving these wraps with simple sides like chips, salsa, or a fresh salad. You can also try guacamole or a corn salad for extra flavor. Is it possible to make this recipe spicy? Absolutely! You can add jalapeños or extra chili powder for heat. You can also use a spicy cheese to kick it up a notch. Adjust the spice according to your taste. How long do these wraps last in the fridge? These wraps stay good in the fridge for about three days. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Why isn’t my cheese melting? If your cheese isn’t melting, it might be too cold. Make sure to cook the filling hot enough. Covering the pan helps trap heat and melt the cheese faster. How to avoid soggy wraps? To keep your wraps crisp, don’t overfill them with the beef mixture. Also, warm the tortillas before wrapping, and serve them right away. What can I do if the filling spills out when wrapping? If the filling spills out, try using less filling. Fold the sides of the tortilla in first, then roll it tightly from the bottom. This helps keep everything inside. For the full recipe, check the earlier sections to get all the details!

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

      Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

        Stir in the diced bell peppers, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften.

          Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.

            While the cheese melts, warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.

              To assemble each wrap, spoon a generous portion of the cheesy beef mixture onto the center of a tortilla, add a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

                Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

                  Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
