Directions
Follow these steps to make your Nacho Cheese Beef Wrap:
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened.
- Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the beef mixture is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous amount of nacho cheese sauce on each tortilla. Top with the beef mixture, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Serve with sour cream and sliced jalapeños, if desired.

Recipe Swaps and Variations
- Chicken Variation: Substitute ground beef with shredded cooked chicken for a different flavor.
- Vegetarian Option: Use black beans or crumbled tofu instead of beef.

Storing Leftovers
