What You’ll Need
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 can Rotel, green chilis with diced tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped green peppers
- ½ cup diced onions
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos, crushed
- 4 flour tortilla wraps
- Shredded lettuce
How to Make These Amazing Wraps
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Start by browning your ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks, and once it’s fully browned, drain any excess fat. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Veggies
Add your diced onions and chopped green peppers to the same skillet with the beef. Cook everything together for about 4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Step 3: Season It Up
Stir in your taco seasoning packet and mix well. The seasoning will coat everything beautifully and give you that classic Mexican flavor we all love!
Step 4: Make the Cheese Sauce
In a separate bowl, mix together the Rotel (with all its juices) and the nacho cheese sauce. This creates the perfect creamy, slightly spicy base for your wraps.
Step 5: Assemble Your Wraps
Lay your four flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a generous layer of the nacho cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla – don’t be shy with it!
Step 6: Load Them Up
Now comes the fun part! Top each tortilla with your seasoned beef mixture, a dollop of sour cream, and a good sprinkle of crushed Doritos. The chips add that perfect crunch that makes these wraps special.
Step 7: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly like a burrito. Make sure they’re secure so nothing falls out when you’re eating!
Step 8: Get Them Crispy
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place your wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and crispy all around.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately while they’re hot and crispy! Top with fresh shredded lettuce and any other toppings you love, like extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Pro Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Don’t overfill your tortillas – it makes them harder to roll and wrap
- Let the beef mixture cool slightly before assembling to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy
- Crush your Doritos into bite-sized pieces, not powder – you want that satisfying crunch
- Make sure your skillet isn’t too hot when toasting, or the outside will burn before the inside heats through
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor
Topping Ideas to Try
Make these wraps even more delicious with:
- Fresh guacamole
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Pickled jalapeños
- Extra shredded cheese
- Cilantro leaves
- Hot sauce for heat lovers
Storage and Reheating
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh and hot! If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
