TikTok-Inspired Beef Tortilla Folded Wrap (Print version)

A crispy folded tortilla wrap filled with taco-seasoned beef, cheese, ranch, lettuce, tomato, corn, and onion.

# Ingredients:

For the taco beef

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, 85/15 or 90/10
03 - 2 teaspoons chili powder
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 2 tablespoons water

For the wraps

12 - 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas, about 10 inches
13 - 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
14 - 2 cups (90 g) shredded romaine lettuce, patted dry
15 - 1 cup (150 g) diced tomatoes
16 - 1/2 cup (80 g) corn kernels, thawed or drained
17 - 1/4 cup (40 g) finely diced red onion
18 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) ranch dressing
19 - 1 tablespoon butter or neutral oil, for toasting

# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
02 - Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking the beef into small crumbles, until no pink remains and the beef reaches 160 F (71 C). Stir in the water and cook for 1 minute so the spices coat the meat.
03 - Lay one tortilla flat. Cut a straight slit from the center of the tortilla down to the bottom edge. Do not cut all the way across.
04 - Working around the tortilla, add lettuce and tomato to one quarter, ranch with corn and red onion to the next, beef and cheese to the third, and extra cheese to the last quarter.
05 - Starting at one side of the slit, fold the first filled quarter over the next. Keep folding over the remaining quarters until you have a layered triangle.
06 - Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden, crisp, and melted inside. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served hot from the skillet while the tortilla is crisp.
02 - Keep fillings light so the wrap folds neatly.
03 - Cooked beef can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated.
