Ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ground beef
Taco seasoning
Water
Nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Large flour tortillas
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Sliced jalapeños (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Crushed tortilla chips (for crunch)

Directions

I cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess grease.
I add taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine, and simmer until the mixture thickens.
While the beef finishes cooking, I warm the nacho cheese sauce on the stove or in the microwave.
I lay out the flour tortillas and spread a layer of nacho cheese in the center of each one.
I spoon the seasoned beef over the cheese, then add lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and crushed tortilla chips if I want some crunch.
I drizzle a bit more cheese on top, then add sour cream if I’m using it.
I fold in the sides and roll up the tortillas tightly into wraps.
For extra texture, I sometimes toast the wraps on a skillet for a few minutes on each side until golden.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Variations

I swap the ground beef with ground turkey or shredded chicken when I want a lighter version.
Sometimes I mix in black beans or corn with the beef for added texture and flavor.
I use spicy nacho cheese or pepper jack for an extra kick.
For a vegetarian option, I use seasoned plant-based crumbles and skip the meat altogether.

storage/reheating

I store leftover wraps tightly wrapped in foil or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, I warm them in a skillet or oven until heated through, which helps keep the tortilla crispy.
If I’ve already added lettuce or tomatoes, I remove them before reheating and add fresh ones afterward to keep the texture right.

FAQs

Can I use shredded cheese instead of nacho cheese sauce?

Yes, I sometimes use shredded cheddar or a Mexican blend. I just make sure to melt it in the wrap or over the beef first.

Are these wraps good for meal prep?

Definitely. I prep the beef ahead of time and store the ingredients separately, then assemble fresh wraps when I’m ready to eat.

What type of tortillas work best?

I prefer large flour tortillas since they’re soft and easy to roll, but spinach or tomato wraps work great for a fun twist.

How can I make it spicier?

I add hot sauce to the beef or use spicy jalapeños and extra pepper jack cheese for heat.

Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes, I wrap them in foil and freeze them without fresh toppings like lettuce or tomatoes. When ready to eat, I thaw and reheat in the oven or skillet.
