Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup onions, sliced
- 1 cup lettuce or shredded cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Sauces
- Sour cream
- Chipotle mayo
- Garlic aioli
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Season the steak: Toss the thinly sliced steak with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated to infuse the meat with flavor.
- Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the seasoned steak for 2 to 3 minutes, until it becomes browned on the outside and is just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook them over medium-high heat until they soften and become slightly caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Assemble wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat. Distribute the cooked steak, sautéed veggies, shredded cheese, and fresh lettuce or cabbage evenly on each tortilla. Drizzle with your choice of optional sauces if desired.
- Wrap and crisp: Fold the tortillas tightly into wraps. Place each wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the wrap is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half for easier eating and serve while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Slice steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Avoid overfilling the wraps to ensure they crisp properly and hold together.
- Use medium heat when toasting wraps to prevent burning while achieving a perfect golden crisp.
- Feel free to add jalapeños or swap steak for chicken or shrimp for a flavor twist.
- Whole wheat or low-carb tortillas can be used as healthier alternatives.
- Try different sauces like BBQ or teriyaki glaze for additional flavor variations.
