1 cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
½ cup sliced jalapeños (optional, for heat)
½ cup crushed tortilla chips (for crunch)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning and water.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Warm the Nacho Cheese:
Heat nacho cheese sauce in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan until hot and smooth.

Add seasoned beef, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips, and shredded cheese if using.
Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito-style wrap.
Serve:
Slice in half if desired. Serve warm with sour cream or extra nacho cheese on the side.
Description
This Nacho Cheese Beef Wrap delivers a rich, cheesy, savory flavor with each bite. The tender seasoned beef is smothered in creamy nacho cheese, balanced by the freshness of lettuce and tomato, and contrasted with the crunch of tortilla chips. It’s a party of textures and tastes, wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla.
Tips
Make Ahead: Cook the beef in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Crispier Wrap: After assembling, toast the wrap in a skillet with a bit of butter or oil for a crispy finish.
Mess-Free Wrap: Don’t overstuff the tortilla—leave room to fold tightly.
Kid-Friendly: Omit the jalapeños and use mild cheese for a less spicy version.
Variations
Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce, crushed red pepper, or spicy nacho cheese.
Veggie Option: Replace beef with seasoned black beans or grilled veggies.
Protein Swap: Use shredded chicken, ground turkey, or steak strips instead of beef.
Low-Carb Version: Use a low-carb tortilla or lettuce wrap instead.
Correction
If your wrap tears when folding, try warming your tortilla longer or using a slightly smaller portion of filling. If the beef is too dry, add a spoonful of salsa or more nacho cheese.
