Each bite is packed with richness from the beef and gooey cheese, all wrapped in a pillowy tortilla and smothered in an irresistibly smooth cheese sauce. It is the kind of meal everyone at the table reaches for seconds.

I made these during a busy week hoping for leftovers but they disappeared right away. Now it is my go to meal when I want something easy and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Ground beef: Choosing a fresh 80 20 blend keeps the filling juicy and flavorful
• Small onion: Finely chopping gives sweetness and texture to every bite
• Garlic: Always use freshly minced for the best aroma and taste
• Smoked paprika: Adds a subtle smokiness Spanish varieties pack extra punch
• Onion powder: Enhances the beefy flavor without overpowering
• Salt and pepper: Season to taste start light and adjust as needed
• Ketchup: Brings tang and a hint of sweetness opt for a natural or low sugar version
• Mayonnaise: Gives the filling creaminess and balance
• Mustard: Adds a little zip classic yellow or Dijon both work
• Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts into the wrap for rich gooeyness freshly shredded melts best
• Flour tortillas: Large and soft are perfect for wrapping and holding all that filling
• Creamy cheese sauce: Store bought for speed or homemade for control go for smooth and melty

For best results pick tortillas that are soft and bendable and source cheddar that melts easily avoiding pre-shredded which can cook up grainy

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the Mixture:

Sprinkle in smoked paprika onion powder salt and pepper Stir thoroughly so the spices coat every bit of beef Allow the mixture to cook briefly to draw out the spices aromas

Make the Savory Sauce:

Warm flour tortillas just enough to make them pliable Sprinkle each with a generous handful of cheddar cheese Spoon the beef mixture down the center making sure each wrap gets plenty

My favorite part is always the creamy cheese drizzle on top It is a little messy but brings the whole dish together and reminds me of movie nights growing up when gooey cheese sauce was the ultimate treat with anything

Storage Tips

Wrap any leftovers tightly in foil or plastic and keep them in the fridge for up to three days If you are planning ahead you can freeze the wraps without sauce then reheat and top with cheese sauce just before serving To reheat use a skillet for crispy edges or the microwave for convenience

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap ground turkey or chicken for beef for a lighter version Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese gives a different flavor if you want something milder or spicier Vegan cheese and plant based crumbles also work well if you need a dairy free or vegetarian option
