Preparation Steps
1
Finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
2
Add the ground beef to the onion, mix well, and cook until the beef is nicely browned. Tip: Break up the meat with a fork or wooden spoon to prevent it from clumping.
3
Season the beef with taco seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Meanwhile, wash and dice the tomatoes, and shred the lettuce.
5
Warm the tortilla wraps in a skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds. This will make them pliable and prevent them from breaking when filling.
6
Place the tortilla wraps on a large plate and fill them evenly with the cooked beef, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and grated cheddar cheese.
7
Finally, dollop with sour cream, fold in half or roll up carefully, making sure the filling doesn't fall out.
8
Serve freshly prepared, garnished with fresh vegetables or extra sour cream, if desired. Tip: If you like it spicy, add chili sauce or jalapeño peppers!
