Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato
  • ½ medium cucumber

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Warm the 4 flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  3. 3

    Divide the cooked beef among the tortillas. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup lettuce, and a few slices of tomato and cucumber.

  4. 4

    Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately, whole or cut in half.

  5. 5

    Optional: add salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce before rolling for extra flavor.
