⭐️ Why this recipe works

I don’t know about you, but I am helpless in the face of anything that has the word “taco” in its title.

Taco salad, baked taco potatoes, taco macaroni and cheese..you know it is only a matter of time before I figure out a way to turn tacos into soup, but in the meantime, here’s a version of the regular old taco…only in wrap sandwich form!

This easy Taco Wraps recipe takes all the flavors of a classic taco and rolls them into a soft flour tortilla for a perfect taco meal. Ground beef and sweet onion are cooked together, mixed with taco sauce, and wrapped in warm flour tortillas with shredded cheese and any favorite toppings such as lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Not that I have anything at all against those crispy crunchy taco shells, but every one in a while I like to eat my taco without the 50% chance of it breaking into pieces and falling into my lap on the first bite. 🤣

I also find that I can add even more of the “fixings” into a taco wrap vs a taco shell, and the odds of getting an assortment of them in one bite (as opposed to a mouthful of just, say, sour cream and taco shell) are much better.

So want to experience a delicious and well-behaved taco? Let’s make it!

🧀 Ingredients you need

And if you want to take your taco wraps to the next level, you can also add in these ingredients as extra filling or garnishes. These are just a few ideas – be as taco-creative as you want!

📝 Ingredient notes and substititions

• Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best for this recipe. Corn tortillas are delicious, but they aren’t really flexible enough for wraps.
• Ground Beef: We like the 80/20 version for this recipe, but you can use any variety of ground beef you like. Or even ground turkey!
• Taco Sauce: Here’s where you can vary the spiciness of your taco wrap by using anything from mild to hot taco sauce. 🔥

👩🏻‍🍳 Here’s how you make this recipe

STEP 1: Saute some ground beef and a peeled and chopped sweet onion until the beef is cooked and the onion is nice and tender.

Stir in some taco sauce until everything is nice and mixed up.

Heat up some flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds until they are nice and warm. Now here comes the wrapping!

STEP 2: Take your nice warm tortilla and start by spooning the meat mixture onto the bottom third of your tortilla.

At this point you can also add any of those extra fillings. I do love some sour cream and guacamole in mine!

STEP 3: The wrapping! Starting at the bottom third of the tortilla where the filling is, start carefully rolling it towards the opposite edge.  If you want to be all neat and tidy you can fold in an inch or two of the left and right sides before you roll, so everything is all nice and tucked.

Please excuse my weird looking taco wrapping fingers.

Slice it in half (or not!), and then you are just a few tortilla chips on the side from the first bite of your favorite new sandwich!

🍽️ Want to round out your meal?

If you want to try your hand at homemade guacamole, you can’t go wrong with this recipe for a sassy bacon guacamole with some homemade tortilla chips on the side. And cheese dip? Yes please.

And I would never say no to a strawberry margarita to wash it all down!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Saute ground beef and onion in a medium skillet over medium high heat until beef is brown and onion is tender. Stir in taco sauce until heated through.
2. Heat the tortillas by either putting them in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or by wrapping them in foil and heating them in a conventional oven for about 15 minutes at 375.
3. Assemble as follows: divide the meat mixture among the tortillas, placing it at the bottom third of the tortilla. Top with cheese and your choice of garnish. Starting with the filling end of the tortilla, slowly roll it up, tucking the side ends in towards the center if you like. Cut in half and serve at once.

Notes

Tortillas:  Make sure you use flour tortillas for this recipe, as corn tortillas are not as flexible and may break when they are folded.  I use 8 inch size tortillas.

Spice Level: This all depends on how spicy your taco sauce is.  I like mild, but I am a big old spice wimp, so if you like more heat, use regular or spicy taco sauce and you are all set.
