Description

Onion Pasta is a savory, satisfying pasta dish featuring caramelized onions, seasoned ground beef, and a blend of spices, all tossed with tomato sauce and wrapped or served with tortillas for a fusion-style meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoon spicy mayo
  • 1 cup fried rice
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup tortilla chips


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour in tomato sauce and let simmer for 3–5 minutes until flavors meld. Remove from heat.
  5. To assemble: Spread spicy mayo on each flour tortilla. Add a scoop of fried rice, the ground beef mixture, nacho cheese sauce, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of tortilla chips.
  6. Roll up each tortilla to form burritos or serve open-faced as desired. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Customize with additional toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños.
  • For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef for plant-based crumbles or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Great for meal prep—store assembled burritos in the fridge and reheat before serving.
