Ground beef

Onion, finely chopped

Garlic, minced

Taco seasoning or homemade seasoning blend

Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
-
Sour cream
-
Mayonnaise
-
Lime juice
-

-
Tortilla wraps
-
Optional toppings: chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions
Directions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, I cook the ground beef until it’s browned and no longer pink.
-
I add chopped onions and minced garlic, then sauté for a few minutes until fragrant and translucent.
-
I stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, letting it simmer until everything is well combined and slightly thickened.
-
While the beef simmers, I make the creamy sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
-
I warm the tortilla wraps in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 4 wraps and takes roughly 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish. It’s quick enough for busy weeknights and filling enough to satisfy everyone at the table.
Variations
-
I sometimes use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner version.
-
For a spicier kick, I mix chopped jalapeños or hot sauce into the beef or sauce.
-
Swapping in Greek yogurt for sour cream in the sauce works great for a lighter option.
-
I add sautéed bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
-
Melting the cheese directly onto the wrap before adding beef makes it extra gooey.
storage/reheating
I store leftover ground beef and sauce in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to reheat, I warm the beef in a skillet or microwave, then assemble fresh wraps. If I’ve already wrapped them, I reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side to crisp the outside and warm the filling. I avoid microwaving wrapped tortillas too long so they don’t get soggy.
FAQs
How do I prevent the wrap from getting soggy?
I let the beef mixture cool slightly before assembling, and I avoid overloading the wrap with sauce. I also serve immediately after wrapping or crisp it up in a skillet if reheating.
Can I freeze these wraps?
Yes, I freeze assembled wraps (without fresh toppings) by wrapping them tightly in foil and storing in a freezer bag. To reheat, I bake or pan-fry directly from frozen until heated through.
What kind of cheese works best?
I love using a mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack for flavor and meltiness, but any good melting cheese like mozzarella, Colby, or pepper jack also works well.
Is the sauce spicy?
The creamy sauce is mild and tangy. If I want more heat, I add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Definitely. I prep the beef and sauce ahead of time and just assemble the wraps when ready to eat. It’s perfect for meal prepping a few days in advance.
