Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, fajita seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
- Sauté the Peppers and Onions: In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Prepare the Wraps: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with lime juice to create a zesty sauce. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Place one beef patty in the center of each tortilla. Top with sautéed peppers and onions, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of the sour cream mixture.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up to create a wrap. Secure with toothpicks if necessary. For a warm, toasty finish, place the wraps back in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are lightly browned.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side for an extra kick.
Enjoy these Fajita Burger Wraps as a flavorful, handheld meal that’s perfect for any occasion. Their combination of juicy beef, vibrant peppers, and creamy sauce makes them a hit with everyone who tries them!
