how to make Nacho Cheese Beef Wrap

Ingredients :

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup guacamole (optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions :

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it starts to brown. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and continue cooking until the meat is fully browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning, along with a splash of water if needed, to evenly coat the beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another few minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
3. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
4. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of nacho cheese sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. On one side of the tortilla, over the nacho cheese, add a portion of the seasoned beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole as desired. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the toppings, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose all the fillings.
