Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 4; makes 4 wraps)

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch; burrito-size)
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 large tomato, diced
• ¼ cup dill pickle chips, chopped
• Optional: 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp mustard, or ¼ cup diced onion

Pro Tips:Drain beef well—excess grease makes wraps soggy.Warm tortillas 10 seconds per side before filling—makes them pliable and prevents tearing.Layer cheese on hot beef—lets it melt slightly before rolling.

 

Step-by-Step Instructions (Juicy, Cheesy, Foolproof)

1. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned; drain fat.
Season with salt & pepper (and optional ketchup/mustard if using). Remove from heat.
2. Assemble Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat. Layer in this order:
→ Shredded lettuce (creates a moisture barrier)
→ Hot beef mixture
→ Shredded cheese (melts from beef heat)

→ Tomato and pickles
Avoid overfilling—about ¾ cup total per wrap.
3. Roll Tightly
Fold sides inward, then roll from bottom to top, tucking filling in as you go.
Wrap in foil or parchment paper to hold shape (great for packing lunches!).
4. Serve Immediately
Slice in half diagonally. Serve with extra pickles or potato chips on the side.
