🌎
While tortilla wraps have roots in Mexican cuisine, especially dishes like burritos, tacos, and enchiladas, they’ve been embraced worldwide for their versatility. The idea of wrapping a flavorful filling in a flatbread spans across many cultures — think Middle Eastern shawarma, Greek gyros, or Indian kati rolls.
In North American households, the ground beef tortilla wrap has become a weeknight hero — quick to cook, easy to serve, and adaptable to any flavor profile.

💡 Tips for Success
Drain the beef: After browning, drain excess fat for better texture and cleaner flavor.
Warm the tortillas: Heat them briefly in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
Don’t overfill: Keep fillings moderate to ensure a clean, foldable wrap.
Meal prep friendly: Make the beef ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for quick future meals.

🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté onions until soft (about 3 minutes), then add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned.
Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 more minutes. Drain if needed.
2. Prepare Fillings
While the beef is cooking, prep your toppings: shred cheese, chop lettuce and tomato, and set out any sauces or extras.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly. Place a scoop of ground beef in the center of each tortilla.
Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and your favorite additions.
Add a dollop of sour cream or salsa if desired.
4. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up tightly like a burrito.
5. Serve Immediately
Serve as-is, or grill the wrap lightly in a pan to crisp the outside.

These wraps combine the juicy, seasoned goodness of ground beef with fresh toppings and creamy sauces. The warmth of the beef melts the cheese just enough, while the crisp lettuce and tangy tomato keep things bright and refreshing. Each bite is balanced, satisfying, and full of flavor.
