Ingredients
Scale
Beef Filling
- 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: diced onions
Wraps & Toppings
- 5 medium tortilla wraps
- 5 slices American cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (about 1/5 cup per wrap)
- Optional: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish for serving
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon to avoid large clumps, until it is browned but still slightly pink to develop rich savory flavor.
- Season the beef mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the beef. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Finish cooking the beef: Continue cooking the beef mixture until it is fully cooked through and no longer pink, ensuring all flavors are well melded.
- Assemble the wraps: On the center of each tortilla wrap, place one slice of American cheese. Top with approximately 1/3 cup (about 80 g) of the cooked beef mixture evenly spread. Add sliced tomatoes and about 1/5 cup of chopped romaine lettuce. Add diced onions if desired for extra sharpness.
- Add condiments: Spread ketchup, mustard, and a little mayonnaise on top of the fillings as desired to enhance flavor and moisture within the wrap.
- Roll and grill the wraps: Roll each tortilla wrap tightly, ensuring the fillings stay centered and secure. Place the wraps seam side down on a preheated indoor grill or grill pan set to medium-high heat. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks appear and the wrap develops a crunchy texture.
- Flip and grill the other side: Turn the wrap over carefully and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown grill marks form, the wrap feels slightly crisp when pressed, and the cheese inside has fully melted.
- Keep wraps warm: Transfer the grilled wraps to a warming area or an oven set to low heat to keep them warm while you finish grilling the remaining wraps.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease but maintain flavor.
- Grill wraps seam side down first to ensure they stay rolled and intact.
- Adjust the amount of condiments based on your taste preference.
- Optional diced onions add a nice pungent crunch if desired.
- Serving with a side of pickles or fries complements this dish well.
