# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 204°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until beef is fully browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess fat.
03 -
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 -
Stir in sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until well combined and cheese begins to melt from residual heat.
05 -
Briefly warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a dry skillet on each side for a few seconds to increase pliability and prevent cracking.
06 -
Place approximately ½ cup of the cheesy beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to encase the filling securely.
07 -
Arrange wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each generously with melted butter or cooking oil to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until wraps are golden brown and crunchy all over.
09 -
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Top with sour cream, fresh salsa, and chopped cilantro as desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Warming tortillas before rolling improves flexibility and prevents tearing during assembly.
