Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Condiments:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) diced onions
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) pickles, sliced
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) Thousand Island dressing
Wrapping and Seasoning:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high temperature and cook ground beef until thoroughly browned, breaking it into small crumbles and seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat completely.
- Lay out flour tortillas and generously spread Thousand Island dressing across each surface, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute cooked ground beef evenly in the center of each tortilla, creating a uniform layer.
- Layer crisp lettuce shreds over the beef, maintaining an even distribution.
- Sprinkle finely chopped onions and sliced pickles across the beef and lettuce base.
- Carefully add shredded cheese on top of the vegetable layer for additional flavor.
- Fold the tortilla sides inward, creating a compact package that securely holds the ingredients.
- Tightly roll each wrap, ensuring the seam is facing downward to maintain structural integrity.
- Place wraps in a preheated non-stick skillet over medium heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes until exterior turns golden brown and crispy.
- Rotate wraps to brown each side evenly, creating a crunchy exterior.
- Remove from skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Customize the beef seasoning by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor depth.
- Use lean ground beef (90/10) to reduce excess grease and create a healthier version of the wrap.
- Swap flour tortillas with low-carb alternatives like lettuce wraps or cauliflower tortillas for a keto-friendly option.
- Toast the tortillas briefly before assembling to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess during cooking.
