- 1 sharp knife
- 1 cutting board
- 4 serving plates
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt

- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, diced

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it cook for an additional minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture. Cover the skillet for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.
- While the cheese is melting, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
- To assemble the wraps, spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a drizzle of mayonnaise and/or hot sauce if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
- Place the wraps seam-side down on a plate and serve immediately while warm.
