🍳 How to Make Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Stir in tomato paste (or salsa) and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and flavorful. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Make the Nacho Cheese Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter.
Add milk and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in cheeses gradually until melted and smooth. Add cornstarch if you want a thicker sauce.
Season lightly with salt. Keep warm.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly so they’re pliable.
Spread nacho cheese down the center of each tortilla.
Top with seasoned beef and any optional add-ins.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
