Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Pickles

Instructions
- Sauté vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
- Season the mixture: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 1-2 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the wraps: Remove the beef mixture from heat. Place about one-quarter of the mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add your preferred optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise, or ketchup.
- Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling completely. For easier handling, you can wrap each rolled wrap in aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious chopped cheese wraps!
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with American or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- Add some hot sauce or jalapeños for an extra spicy kick.
- Leftovers can be warmed up in a skillet or microwave for quick meals the next day.
- Ensure the ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
