Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Beef Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Warm the Cheese Sauce and Tortillas
- Heat the nacho cheese sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until warm and pourable.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread 2-3 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce in the center.
- Add a generous scoop of seasoned beef on top of the cheese sauce.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and any other desired toppings like onions, jalapeños, or sour cream.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if using.
Fold and Serve
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to form a wrap.
- Slice in half for easier handling or serve whole.
Recipe Tips
- Prevent Soggy Wraps: Add lettuce and other fresh toppings just before serving to keep the wraps crisp.
- Spice It Up: Mix a little hot sauce into the nacho cheese for an extra kick.
- Customizable Toppings: Add black beans, corn, or avocado for variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
The wraps are best assembled fresh, but you can prep the beef and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before assembling.
Can I use a different protein?
Yes! Swap ground beef for ground chicken, turkey, or even plant-based crumbles.
Can these be frozen?
It’s not recommended to freeze assembled wraps as fresh toppings like lettuce and tomato don’t freeze well. However, you can freeze the seasoned beef filling for up to 2 months.
