Method
How to Make Loaded Beef and Cheese Taco Wraps
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's beautifully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5–7 minutes.
Season and Simmer: Drain any excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir everything to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat.
Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until they are soft and pliable.
Layer the Filling: On each tortilla, generously layer the cooked beef, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion (if using), and any other toppings you love.
Add Creaminess: Drizzle sour cream and salsa over the top, then add slices of avocado.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Serve: Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.
