Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound lean ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Break it up as it cooks, and once done, drain excess fat.
2. Add Veggies and Seasoning
Add ½ cup chopped onions and ½ cup chopped green peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in 1 packet taco seasoning, mix well, and cook for another minute or two to let the flavors absorb.
3. Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, combine:
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 can Rotel (undrained)
Stir until smooth and set aside.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay out 4 flour tortillas on a flat surface. In the center of each tortilla:
- Spread a generous spoonful of the nacho cheese mixture.
- Add a scoop of the seasoned beef mixture.
- Spoon over a dollop of sour cream.
- Sprinkle with extra onions and peppers, if desired.
- Top with a handful of crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos for crunch.
5. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly like a burrito.
6. Toast the Wraps
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the dry pan. Toast for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the outside is golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve and Garnish
Serve hot with a side of shredded lettuce, and feel free to add more toppings like:
- Diced tomatoes
- Jalapeños
- Guacamole
- Extra sour cream or salsa
Tips for the Best Wraps
- Use a large skillet to toast two wraps at a time.
- Don’t overfill or the wrap may tear during rolling.
- Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- For extra crispiness, brush the outside of the wrap lightly with oil or butter before toasting.
- Want spicier wraps? Add hot sauce, chopped jalapeños, or spicy taco seasoning.
Variations & Substitutions
- 🐔 Make it chicken: Swap beef for shredded rotisserie chicken.
- 🫘 Go meatless: Use black beans or a meat substitute for a vegetarian twist.
- 🧀 Try different cheese: Use queso blanco, shredded cheddar, or spicy cheese blends.
- 🌽 Add extras: Corn, refried beans, or diced avocado make delicious additions.
- 🌮 Turn it into nachos: Skip the tortilla and layer everything over chips for a loaded nacho plate.
What to Serve With Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps
These wraps are filling on their own, but pair great with:
- Mexican rice or Spanish rice
- Refried beans or black beans
- A simple garden salad
- Tortilla chips and salsa, guac, or queso
- Fresh lime wedges or hot sauce
Storage & Reheating
- Store: Leftover wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Toast in a skillet or air fryer for best texture. You can also microwave for 1–2 minutes (but the wrap will be softer).
- Make ahead: Prep filling and cheese mixture in advance; assemble and toast wraps when ready to eat.
