Beefy Nacho Cheese Wrap

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup queso or nacho cheese dip
  • 6 large burrito-size flour tortillas (10-12 inches)
  • 6 tostada shells or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup minced cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Instructions:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, crumbling it with a spatula, until it is no longer pink; drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Lay a flour tortilla on a clean flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of queso in the center of the tortilla.
  5. Top the queso with about 1/2 cup of the seasoned taco meat.
  6. Place a tostada shell on top of the meat, then spread a thin layer of sour cream over the shell.
  7. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, minced cilantro, a sprinkle of lime juice, and shredded Mexican cheese on top of the sour cream.
  8. Begin folding the edges of the flour tortilla over the center fillings, working your way around in a circular pattern to enclose the fillings completely. If there’s a gap in the center, cut a piece from another flour tortilla and tuck it in to cover fully.
  9. Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat; lightly grease with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil.
  10. Place one wrap seam-side down in the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden-brown and crunchy.
  11. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  12. Serve hot and enjoy!
