Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 g (1.1 lb) ground beef
- 1 pack of Doritos nacho cheese flavor
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings and Garnishes:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup salsa
Instructions
- Crush Doritos into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor, creating a textured coating for the beef mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, sautéing diced onions, minced garlic, and chopped bell peppers until softened and fragrant, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces and cooking until browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the beef, stirring thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly and develop deep flavor profiles.
- Remove beef mixture from heat and allow to cool slightly, preventing tortilla soggy texture when assembling wraps.
- Warm flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to enhance pliability.
- Spread a generous layer of crushed Doritos on each tortilla, creating a crunchy base for the beef mixture.
- Spoon seasoned beef mixture onto Doritos-lined tortillas, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, allowing residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Roll tortillas tightly into compact wraps, folding edges to seal in ingredients.
- Optional: Briefly grill or pan-toast wraps for 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispy exterior and further melt cheese.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeño slices for added zest and visual appeal.
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and crisp.
Notes
- Crush Doritos finely for a consistent, even coating that adheres perfectly to the beef mixture without large chunks.
- Drain excess beef fat after cooking to prevent soggy wraps and reduce unnecessary greasiness.
- Use lean ground beef (90/10) for a healthier version without compromising flavor intensity.
- Vegetarian alternative: Replace beef with black beans, lentils, or plant-based ground meat substitute for equal protein and texture.
