Tortilla Wraps

I have always loved tacos; but when Dianne served the soft version of it using tortilla wraps, I loved it even more. I told Dianne I'd try to serve it in our house one time, and I made this just two weeks after I ate Dianne's version of the dish.

This dish was inspired from what Dianne served, but this recipe was my own adaptation.

Mise en place

Tortilla Wraps


Tortilla Wraps
{Makes 6 Wraps}

Ingredients:
  • 6 pieces tortilla wraps
  • 250 grams ground beef
  • 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 small tub yogurt
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • lemon juice or regular white vinegar, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 medium sized onion, minced
  • 2 medium sized tomatoes, chopped
  • grated cheddar cheese
  • hot sauce
How to Cook:
  • Saute a bit of minced onion in very little oil (about 1 tablespoon) and add the beef. Continue sauteeing it until it's cooked. Discard any rendered fat, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix yogurt with mayonnaise and add lemon juice or vinegar according to your taste. Add the garlic powder and whisk. Season with minimal sugar, salt pepper.
  • Prepare the mise en place - put each of the ingredients in individual bowls and let your guests or your family prepare their own wrap.
  • To assemble, get one tortilla wrap, put in each ingredient one by one in the middle, and wrap the filling. Eat.
Notes to Consider:
  • You can use any kind of tortilla wraps for this dish, I used the whole wheat ones.
  • Heat up the wraps before you serve, but don't toast them.
  • There is no wrong or right amount of filling to be used - just go with your own taste, just be sure you don't add to much or you won't be able to wrap it anymore. :)

This one was much easier to eat because it wasn't really messy, but of course, I'd still want to eat tacos because of its texture. Well, soft or not - taco shells or tortilla wraps, I think I have found a good way of eating it. The yogurt/mayo mix was really a good discovery. Thanks for the tip, Dianne!

This is standard "poker food" whenever me and my brothers play on Christmas day in their house, though his wife uses the crunchy taco shells. Ah yes, Christmas. Lapit na!

Thanks, Chiarajulieann!
Wow I like your post ...... I've always been a big fan of the soft tortilla too because of its flexibility. You can roll it up (just like what you did with your recipe) or you can fold it and it becomes a quesadilla.

Quesadilla ... something I hope to do one of these days.

Thanks for hopping here, Asmo!

Jenn, the Foodie


I come from a family who loves cooking and eating. I never had any formal training in cooking and that I taught myself how to cook based on the handed down recipes, but I could say that I can cook good food. In 2008, I started documenting my food trips for my travel blog, and since I have quite enough to start a food blog, might as well put all those food trips in one location. Thus, a food blog is born - thanks to the new Friendster Blogs. However, due to several problems, I was left with no choice but to pack bags again and move here instead. Here's the permanent address, promise! Enough talk, let the food trippin' begin! {Know More About Me}
