Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup nacho cheese sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Large flour tortillas
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, chopped onions

Directions

I start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding the ground beef. I cook it until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, then drain any excess grease. I season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir well.

Next, I add the drained Rotel tomatoes to the skillet and let everything simmer for a few minutes so the flavors blend together. I then lower the heat and stir in the nacho cheese sauce until the mixture is creamy and evenly coated.

I warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave. To assemble, I spoon the beef and cheese mixture onto each tortilla, add a dollop of sour cream, and finish with any optional toppings I like. I roll the tortillas tightly into wraps and serve them warm.

Servings And Timing

I usually get about 4 large wraps from this recipe.
Preparation time is around 10 minutes, cooking time is about 15 minutes, and total time comes to roughly 25 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken when I want a lighter option. I also like adding black beans or corn for extra texture. When I want more heat, I mix in hot sauce or extra jalapeños. For a crunchier version, I occasionally toast the wraps lightly in a skillet after rolling them.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm it in a skillet or microwave until heated through. I prefer assembling fresh wraps instead of storing them fully assembled to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

I often prepare the beef and cheese filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When I’m ready to eat, I just reheat it and assemble the wraps.

What kind of tortillas work best?

I like using large flour tortillas because they are soft and easy to roll, but whole wheat tortillas also work well.

Can I freeze the beef mixture?

I freeze the cooked beef mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 months. I thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.

Is this recipe very spicy?

I find it mildly spicy because of the Rotel tomatoes. If I want less heat, I use a mild version or regular diced tomatoes.

What sides go well with this wrap?

I usually serve it with tortilla chips, a simple salad, or some Mexican-style rice.

Conclusion

I keep coming back to this Nacho Cheese Beef Wrap because it is simple, filling, and full of flavor. It works perfectly for weeknight dinners, game days, or anytime I want something comforting and easy to customize. This is one of those recipes I know I’ll make again and again.
