It’s the kind of dish that you’ll crave after a long day or whenever you’re in the mood for something fun and comforting.

As you take your first bite, the flavors unfold like a delicious story. The richness of the beef, seasoned just right with a hint of taco seasoning, gets a zesty kick from the salsa.

It’s this freedom that makes these Beef Nacho Wraps such a hit for a laid-back dinner or a fun snack during a movie marathon.

Key Ingredients in Doritos Beef Nacho Wraps

The magic of these wraps lies in the combination of simple ingredients that come together to create a flavor-packed experience. From the savory beef to the crunchy Doritos, each component plays a crucial role in delivering that irresistible bite.

  • Ground Beef
    The heart of the wrap, ground beef provides a savory, juicy base that’s perfectly seasoned with taco seasoning. It gives the dish its rich, meaty flavor that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
  • Taco Seasoning
    This little packet packs a punch with a blend of spices that gives the beef that classic taco flavor. It’s the secret ingredient that brings everything together with just the right amount of zest.
  • Water
    Water is added to the beef and taco seasoning mixture to help create a savory sauce that coats the meat, making it extra juicy and flavorful.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
    Melty, gooey, and wonderfully sharp, the cheddar cheese adds richness and a smooth texture that contrasts perfectly with the crispy Doritos and tender beef.
  • Sour Cream
    Cool and creamy, sour cream provides a refreshing balance to the heat from the jalapeƱos and the spiced beef. It adds a velvety finish to each bite.
  • Crushed Doritos
    The star of the show! These crunchy, cheesy chips bring the perfect texture to the wrap, with their bold flavor adding an irresistible crunch that elevates every bite.
  • Flour Tortillas
    Soft and pliable, the flour tortillas wrap everything together, holding all the flavors in place while providing a tender, comforting base.
  • Diced Tomatoes
    Fresh and juicy, the diced tomatoes add a burst of brightness and a touch of sweetness to balance the richness of the beef and cheese.
  • Sliced JalapeƱos
    For those who like a little heat, sliced jalapeƱos add the perfect amount of spice, complementing the other ingredients and giving each bite a delightful kick.
  • Chopped Green Onions
    These bring a mild, crisp flavor with a hint of sharpness that cuts through the richness of the cheese and beef. The green onions add a fresh, vibrant touch to the wraps.

How to Make Doritos Beef Nacho Wraps

  • In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Once the beef is browned and fully cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  • Add the taco seasoning packet to the beef and pour in the 1/2 cup of water.
  • Stir the mixture together and bring it to a simmer, allowing the seasoning to dissolve and the mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes.
  • While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 20 seconds, just until soft and pliable.
  • Once the beef mixture has thickened, remove the skillet from heat and set it aside.
  • Take one tortilla and place it flat on a clean surface.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center of the tortilla, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crushed Doritos over the sour cream.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes on top of the Doritos.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sliced jalapeƱos and 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions on top of the tomatoes.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then carefully roll the tortilla from the bottom up, creating a tight wrap.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas, filling each one with the same amount of beef mixture and toppings.
  • Once all the wraps are prepared, return the skillet to medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of cooking spray or oil.
  • Place each wrap seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip each wrap carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are crispy and the cheese inside is melted.
  • Remove the wraps from the skillet and place them on a cutting board.
  • Allow the wraps to cool for a minute before slicing them in half and serving immediately.

Serving Suggestions for Doritos Beef Nacho Wraps

1. Pair with a Side of Guacamole
Nothing complements these wraps quite like a creamy, rich guacamole. The smoothness of the avocado mixed with the tangy lime and a sprinkle of cilantro adds a refreshing contrast to the bold, cheesy flavors in the wrap. Plus, the extra crunch from the chips in the guacamole just ties everything together.

2. Serve with a Zesty Salsa
If you like a little extra kick, serve your wraps with a side of spicy salsa. The freshness of tomatoes, onions, and cilantro in salsa will bring a burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with the hearty beef. A spoonful of salsa on the side gives everyone the option to add more zest to their wraps as they please!

3. Top with Shredded Lettuce and Extra Cheese
For a lighter, yet still indulgent twist, sprinkle some fresh shredded lettuce on top of your wrap before serving. It adds a crunchy, fresh layer that balances out the richness of the beef and cheese. A little extra shredded cheddar on top never hurt anyone either – it melts beautifully, making every bite even more irresistible!

How to Store Doritos Beef Nacho Wraps

If you happen to have leftovers (which, let’s be honest, is pretty rare when these wraps are around), storing them properly will ensure they stay as delicious as when they were first made. The best way to preserve their freshness is by wrapping them tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper. This helps keep the wraps from drying out and retains that crispy exterior. Once wrapped, place them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days, so you can enjoy the leftovers for another meal.

When you’re ready to reheat, you can either toss them in the oven or on a skillet. Preheat your oven to about 350°F (175°C) and place the wraps on a baking sheet. Cover them loosely with foil to avoid losing that crunch, and bake for around 10 minutes, or until heated through. If you’re using a skillet, just heat it on medium-low and place the wraps in, turning them occasionally until they’re warmed up and crispy again.

For the ultimate flavor experience, I recommend not storing the sour cream, guacamole, or salsa with the wraps. These are best added fresh right before serving so they don’t lose their creaminess or texture. Just keep them separately in the fridge and add them on top when you’re ready to dig in again!

And there you have it—the ultimate recipe for Beef Nacho Wraps with that unbeatable Doritos crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use a different type of meat instead of ground beef?

Yes, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based meat alternatives if you prefer. Just ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly and seasoned to your liking before assembling the wraps.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the beef mixture and toppings ahead of time. Store the beef mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to assemble, reheat the beef mixture and warm the tortillas before adding the fillings and cooking the wraps.

How can I make these wraps spicier?

To make the wraps spicier, you can add more sliced jalapeƱos, use a spicier taco seasoning, or even include a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes in the beef mixture. You can also sprinkle some extra chili powder or hot pepper seeds over the top for added heat.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can use other types of cheese like Monterey Jack, Mexican blend, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. Make sure to choose a cheese that melts well for the best texture in the wraps.

How do I keep the wraps from falling apart when cooking?

To prevent the wraps from falling apart, make sure you fold the sides of the tortilla inward before rolling it tightly from the bottom. Cooking the wraps seam side down first will help seal them. Additionally, cooking them on medium heat and allowing the cheese to melt inside helps to hold everything together.
