Crunchy Beef Tortilla Folded Wrap Ingredients
A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Ground beef: The heart of the filling, cooked with spices for bold flavor.
Olive oil: Helps brown the beef and carry the spices evenly.
Spices: Chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin and onion powder add depth and warmth.
Flour tortillas: Soft and foldable, ideal for wrapping and grilling.
Lettuce: Adds freshness and crunch to balance the warm fillings.
Cherry tomato: Brings juicy sweetness to the wrap.
Ranch dressing: Creamy and herby, tying all the flavors together.
Red onion: A zesty kick and crisp bite.
Corn: Adds texture and a touch of sweetness. You can use thawed, freshly cooked or canned corn.
Cheddar cheese: Melts beautifully and binds the wrap together. I used medium white cheddar (although anything goes).
How to Make TikTok Beef Folded Wraps
For more detailed instructions with weights and measurements, jump to the printable recipe card.
Mix the beef: Combine ground beef with all the spices in a bowl.
Cook the beef: Brown in olive oil until fully cooked, then set aside.
Prepare the tortillas: Slice each tortilla from center to bottom edge.
Layer the fillings: Add lettuce and tomato to the bottom left. Add ranch, onion and corn to the top left. Add cheese and beef to the top right, more cheese to the bottom right.
Fold the wrap: Fold each section over the next clockwise, ending with a triangular layered wrap.
Grill the wrap: Heat a pan and grill each side until golden and crisp.
Substitutions and Variations
Use ground turkey or chicken: A leaner option with the same tasty spice mix.
Swap ranch for salsa or sour cream: For a different creamy flavor.
Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne.
Go vegetarian: Replace beef with black beans or crumbled tofu.
Corn tortillas: You can swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas if you prefer those.
How about a sweet version? Sweet ingredients like jam, Nutella, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, peanut butter (okay that’s not sweet but you get the idea!) and marshmallow fluff could be used to make a dessert version!
Serving Suggestions
With a salad: Pair your crunchy beef tortilla folded wrap with a radicchio endive chicken salad or grape salad.
With potatoes: Serve up air fryer sweet potato wedges, sweet potato tater tots or a chorizo loaded baked potato on the side.
How to Store TikTok Folded Wraps
Store: These are definitely best (and crispiest!) served fresh but leftovers will keep for a day or so in the refrigerator.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing these, as the salad veggies will go mushy.
Reheat: Warm leftovers back up in a skillet on the stove or in the air fryer.
Top Tips
Cut carefully: Slice from the center out, not all the way through.
Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause it to burst when folded.
Have a sticky section: Include cheese or something that will melt or that’s sticky in at least one of the sections to help hold the whole thing together.
Easy folding: If your tortillas are a bit stiff, you can microwave them for a few seconds to make them more pliable (so they don’t tear when folded).
Use medium heat: Too high and the wrap might burn before it’s heated through.
Let it rest briefly: After grilling, wait a minute before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Beef Tortilla Folded Wrap FAQs
Yes, you can. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat them. Heat them up in a pan, microwave or in the oven before serving.
Feel free to get creative and add other ingredients to the filling, such as diced vegetables or different types of cheese. Refried beans, black beans or other protein like ground turkey would be tasty, too. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
