This recipe combines all the cheesy, beefy, crunchy goodness of your favorite nacho platter—rolled up neatly in a tortilla. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for busy weeknights, game day snacks, or even meal prep.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This wrap hits every craving at once: melty cheese, savory beef, zesty taco seasoning, and a satisfying crunch from tortilla chips tucked right inside. It’s portable comfort food at its best, with the bonus of being endlessly customizable to your spice tolerance and favorite toppings.

Chef’s Pro Tips for the Best Wrap

• Choose the right tortilla: Burrito-size flour tortillas make rolling easier and hold more filling without tearing.
• Toast before serving: A quick sear in a skillet makes the tortilla crispy and seals in the cheese.
• Go heavy on the cheese sauce: That’s what makes this wrap truly “nacho” worthy.
• Layer wisely: Put the cheese sauce down first so it melts into the beef and holds the chips in place.

Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade mix)
• 1/4 cup water

For the Wraps:

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 1 1/2 cups nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips
• Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, jalapeños

Instructions

Step 1 – Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

Step 2 – Warm the Cheese Sauce

Heat the nacho cheese sauce in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 3 – Build the Wraps

Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2–3 tbsp of nacho cheese sauce down the center. Spoon on 1/4 of the beef mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips. Add any extra toppings you like.

Step 4 – Wrap It Up

Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

Step 5 – Toast (Optional)

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6 – Serve & Enjoy

Slice in half and serve hot with salsa, guacamole, or more cheese sauce for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

This wrap is great on its own, but you can serve it alongside:

• Mexican rice
• Refried beans
• Fresh guacamole and chips

Variations

• Spicy Version: Add pickled jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef.
• Loaded Veggie Wrap: Add sautéed peppers and onions to the mix.
• Chicken Swap: Use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of beef.

FAQs

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, assemble the wraps and refrigerate, but toast right before eating for best texture.

2. Can I freeze them?
Yes, wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer.

3. Can I use soft corn tortillas?
You can, but they’re smaller and more fragile—flour tortillas work best.

4. What’s the best cheese sauce for this?
A thick, smooth nacho cheese sauce melts best and coats the beef evenly.
