I love tortilla wraps for their versatility; you can use your favorite fillings, making them perfect for enjoying in different ways – whether it’s for make-ahead lunches, snacks, dinners, or even a hearty breakfast.
These Ground Beef Tortilla Wraps with a simple recipe for a quick homemade nacho cheese sauce are a long time regular in my kitchen. It’s among the best tortilla wrap recipes, and the whole family enjoys them.
Imagine a golden brown delicious flour tortilla with those perfect brown spots, filled with seasoned taco meat, drizzled with gooey nacho cheese, topped with crisp lettuce, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. Yep, you heard it right – this sandwich wrap is loaded with all the delicious ingredients to fill you up with protein and fresh veggies! And to add an extra layer of goodness, a smaller tortilla is placed on top of the wrap filling, the larger tortilla then carefully folded over, creating delightful pleats.
