Ingredients

Filling:
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 16-ounce ounce can refried beans
  • 4-ounce ounce can green chiles, drained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wraps:
  • 2 to 3 to 3 cups Mexican-style shredded cheese
  • 8 to 10 to 10 8- or 10-inch tortillas
  • Cooking spray or olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a skillet set over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the refried beans, green chiles, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt. Add the ground beef and onions and stir to combine evenly.
  3. For each wrap, sprinkle about 1/4 cup cheese over the tortilla then spread about 1/2 cup filling down the center in a wide strip.
  4. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, followed by the other side (so that the tortilla is folded into thirds). Press lightly to flatten. It should be thick and flat, not rounded like a burrito.
  5. Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. I use an electric griddle set to about 350 degrees F.
  6. Spray the seam side of the wraps with nonstick cooking spray (or brush with a bit of olive oil). Place the wraps, seam side down, on the griddle or pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-4 minutes.
  7. While they cook, spray the top with nonstick cooking spray (or brush with olive oil) and carefully flip with a wide spatula and press down lightly to flatten just a bit. It's normal for a little filling to fall out when flipping – just tuck it back into the ends of the wrap with the spatula.
  8. Cook for another 2-4 minutes until golden and the filling is hot and cheesy melted.
  9. Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or other toppings of your choice!
