02 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin

05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Cheese

11 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese blend

→ Sauce

13 - 1/4 cup full-fat mayonnaise
14 - 1/4 cup sour cream
15 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
16 - 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard
17 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
18 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
19 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Produce and Wraps

20 - 4 large flour tortillas, burrito size
21 - 1 cup shredded Romaine lettuce
22 - 1 medium tomato, diced

→ Optional Toppings

23 - Pickles, sliced
24 - Jalapeños, sliced
25 - Avocado, sliced

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute without browning. Add ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until evenly browned with no pink remaining. Sprinkle smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper over the beef, stirring to coat thoroughly. Reduce heat to low, add shredded cheddar cheese on top, and gently stir until cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Remove from heat.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
03 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of creamy sauce in the center. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by a spoonful of diced tomato. Add a generous scoop of the warm cheesy beef mixture, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheese blend on top. Add any desired optional toppings such as sliced avocado, pickles, or jalapeños.
04 - Fold the short sides of the tortilla inward partially over the filling, then tightly roll the wrap from the bottom edge to enclose the filling securely. Slice the wrap in half diagonally to reveal layers and serve immediately to enjoy the melting cheese at its best.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Toast the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet prior to assembling for enhanced softness and slight crispness. Prepare beef filling and sauce ahead of time, assembling wraps just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
