Ingredients
(Serves 4)
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
For the Crunchy Coating:
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in paprika, ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside. - Assemble the Wraps:
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the cooked beef mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Layer with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. - Roll the Wraps:
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll them tightly to enclose the filling. Ensure they’re secure to prevent leaks during cooking. - Prepare the Crunchy Coating:
In a shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Roll each wrap in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat the outside evenly. - Cook the Wraps:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. - Serve:
Transfer the wraps to a serving platter and pair with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or a smoky barbecue sauce.
Cooking Tips and Variations
- Make It Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the filling for a kick.
- Lighter Option: Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef and whole-wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute the beef with seasoned plant-based meat or black beans.
- Cheese Swap: Try Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
Perfect Pairings
These wraps pair perfectly with:
- Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries.
- A tangy coleslaw for balance.
- A refreshing cucumber or mixed greens salad.
