Tips & Variations

  • For extra spice, add jalapeño slices or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Use multigrain or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
  • Swap ground beef for shredded chicken or turkey for a different protein option.
  • Make the wraps ahead and refrigerate before toasting for a quick meal later.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through, then crisp up the wraps in a hot pan for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I freeze these wraps?

Yes, wrap each individual wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven from frozen for best texture.

What can I use instead of nacho cheese sauce?

You can substitute with melted cheddar cheese or a creamy queso dip for a similar flavor. Alternatively, shredded cheese can be added directly to the beef mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix

Cheese Sauce Mix

  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilis), drained

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortilla wraps
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat to keep the wrap from being greasy.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions and chopped green bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté them for about 4 minutes until they soften but still retain a slight crunch.
  3. Season the Meat: Stir in the packet of taco seasoning mix with the beef and vegetables. Simmer the mixture for 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  4. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the nacho cheese sauce with the drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat. Down the center of each tortilla, spread a line of the cheese-Rotel mixture. Layer some of the beef mixture on top, add a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle a generous amount of crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos for crunch.
  6. Roll and Toast: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling. Toast each wrap in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  7. Serve: Serve the wraps warm with a side of shredded lettuce. Optionally, add salsa or guacamole to complement the flavors and provide extra zest.

Notes

  • Drain the Rotel before mixing with cheese sauce to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
  • To keep wraps crispy longer, toast just before serving.
  • Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat for a healthier alternative.
  • Adding jalapeños can increase the heat if desired.
