Ingredients

• Lean ground beef: For hearty protein and meaty flavor choose grass-fed for best taste
• Nacho cheese sauce: For creamy richness use jarred or homemade for extra melt
• Sour cream: To add a cool tangy balance grab full-fat for silkiness
• Rotel green chilis with diced tomatoes: For a zippy kick and fresh flavor always drain well to prevent soggy wraps
• Chopped green peppers: Bring color and crunch pick firm and glossy peppers
• Diced onions: For sweetness and depth yellow onions work great here
• Taco seasoning mix: To boost spice and warm seasoning choose a low-sodium blend if desired
• Crushed Doritos Nacho Cheese flavored: For toasted cheesy crunch look for fresh bags for peak crispiness
• Flour tortilla wraps: Strong enough to hold fillings opt for large burrito size
• Shredded lettuce: For garnish adding crunch and a bit of freshness use romaine or iceberg

Step-by-Step Instructions

Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef until fully browned and no pink remains make sure to break it into small crumbles as it cooks to ensure an even texture Once browned drain the excess fat from the pan to avoid greasy wraps

Cook the Veggies:

Add diced onions and green peppers to the beef Return the skillet to the heat and stir occasionally Let the veggies cook until they become softened and slightly caramelized about five to six minutes This brings out their natural sweetness and blends flavors

Season the Filling:

Sprinkle in your taco seasoning evenly across the beef and vegetables Mix well until every bite is coated in the spices Pour in a few tablespoons of water if your seasoning mix calls for it Allow everything to simmer for another two to three minutes so that the spices really infuse the mixture

Mix the Cheese Sauce:

In a medium bowl stir together the nacho cheese sauce and drained Rotel green chilis with tomatoes Combine until completely blended and the mixture appears smooth This will be your creamy cheese base

Layer the Wraps:

Lay flour tortillas flat on your workspace Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture on each tortilla leaving a bit of a border Add a scoop of beef and veggie filling down the center Top with a dollop of sour cream scatter on a handful of crushed Doritos and some shredded lettuce for crunch

Roll and Toast the Wraps:

Fold in the sides and tightly roll up each tortilla to secure the fillings Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place wraps seam side down Toast each side for two to three minutes until the tortillas are golden and slightly crisped

Serve:

Cut in half if desired and serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the chips are crunchy Every bite should be a perfect mix of creamy cheesy spicy and fresh

Pin it

Doritos add extra fun and flavor so I always sneak in a few extra for my own wrap The smell of toasting tortillas always takes me back to Saturday nights when my kids and I would build these wraps assembly-line style in the kitchen

Storage Tips

Let any leftovers cool completely before wrapping tightly in foil or storing in airtight containers Store in the fridge for up to three days For best results reheat in a skillet to bring back the crisp on the tortilla Avoid microwaving for too long to prevent sogginess

Ingredient Substitutions

Ground turkey or chicken can swap in easily for the beef If nacho cheese sauce is unavailable try a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack melted with a splash of milk Jalapenos work in place of green chilis for extra heat and flavored tortilla chips can bring a twist if Doritos are not on hand

Serving Suggestions

These wraps are perfect alone but I love serving them with extra salsa guacamole or even pickled jalapenos on the side For a larger group slice them into halves or thirds for appetizer-sized bites A fresh corn and black bean salad also pairs deliciously

Whether for game night or a casual dinner these wraps bring guaranteed smiles all around
