Servings: 4
Equipment
- Skillet Large Nonstick
Ingredients
For the Taco Beef
- 1 Pound ground beef
- 1 Teaspoon chili powder
- 1 Teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 Teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 Teaspoon onion powder
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
To Make the Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas
- ½ Cup lettuce shredded
- ¾ Cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ⅓ Cup ranch dressing
- 1 red onion small, sliced
- 4 Tablespoons corn well drained if canned or thawed
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix ground beef and all spices together.
- Heat a non-stick skillet with oil over medium-high heat until it’s smoked hot. Brown the beef until cooked through. Set aside.
- Make the wrap. Lay the tortilla on a cutting bowl. Take a sharpened knife and cut a line from the center to the bottom edge.
- Now from the left quarter, add lettuce and cherry tomato. On the top left, spread ranch dressing, top with onion and corn.
- On the top right quarter, add some cheese first then the ground beef. It will help to stick when you heat the tortilla.
- On the bottom right, sprinkle some more cheese.
- Now fold clockwise from bottom left over the top left then from top left over the top right to bottom right. Repeat the same with all tortillas.
- Heat a clean non-stick pan over medium heat to grill the folded wraps or if you prefer, you can grill the tortillas in the beef fat. About 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Notes
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..
