Ingredients
Scale

Wrap and Vegetables:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup diced onions
Seasonings and Condiments:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Ketchup, for serving (optional)

Instructions
- Sear the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles and seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Carefully drain excess fat through a colander, allowing the meat to remain moist but not greasy.
- Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board, positioning it to create an even wrap foundation.
- Spread the cooked ground beef across the center of the tortilla, leaving approximately 2 inches (5 centimeters) of space around the edges for proper folding.
- Evenly distribute shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the warm beef to encourage melting.
- Layer crisp chopped lettuce, diced fresh tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions on top of the cheese.
- Optionally drizzle desired condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise across the vegetable layer.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla upward, then carefully fold the side edges inward to create a secure package.
- Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom, ensuring a compact and neat wrap.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and gently place the wrap seam-side down.
- Grill each side for 2-3 minutes until the tortilla develops a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve immediately with additional condiments on the side.
