Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 or 85/15) Room temperature for even browning.
- 1 medium Onion Finely chopped.
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt Adjust to taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups Frozen fries Or about 2 large potatoes cut into fries for homemade fries.
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded cheese Cheddar or mozzarella (or a mix).
- 4 large Flour tortillas Warmed briefly to make folding easier.
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and let it brown without crowding the pan for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Sprinkle in smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook another 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices and meld flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Meanwhile, prepare the fries according to package instructions or cook homemade fries on a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through.
- To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture down the center, top with a handful of fries and a good sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to encase the filling.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese inside has melted. Press gently with a spatula for a panini-like finish.
- Slice the wrap in half, serve hot, and offer your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
Notes
Use 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef for flavor and juiciness; leaner beef can dry out. Toast the tortilla in a dry skillet to create a barrier so the wrap holds together and stays crisp.
