Optional Additions:

  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup guacamole

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Beef:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  1. Add Seasoning:
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.
  1. Warm the Nacho Cheese:
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the nacho cheese sauce, stirring occasionally, until it is smooth and heated through.
  1. Prepare the Tortillas:
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.
  1. Assemble the Wraps:
  • Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous spoonful of nacho cheese sauce in the center.
  • Add a portion of the seasoned beef on top of the cheese sauce.
  • Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, red onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • If using, add a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, and any optional additions such as jalapeños, guacamole, or salsa.
  1. Wrap It Up:
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to form a wrap. Ensure the filling is securely enclosed.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve the Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps immediately while they are warm.

Tips for Success:

  • For extra flavor, toast the wrapped tortillas in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a crispy exterior.
  • Customize the wrap with your favorite nacho toppings or add a kick with spicy salsa or hot sauce.
  • If you prefer, use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative to ground beef.
