Meat-Filled Tortilla Wraps

Great meals often start as casual conversations, and this tortilla wrap is proof! Recently, I was speaking with my best friend, Shuli, who happens to be incredibly talented in the kitchen, and she mentioned that every time she makes meat-filled tortilla wraps, her family just can’t get enough
of it. That sparked curiosity in me, and I had to see for myself.

The concept is simple. Fill a tortilla with meat, roll it up, and shallow fry it. I put my own spin on it with spices, peppers, and onion for extra flavor. Adding sesame seeds to the bread crumb mixture kicked it up to the next level immediately!

This recipe has become a family favorite; it’s impossible to resist and is loved by kids and adults alike. It’s comforting, filling, flavorful, and turns dinner into a party! Bottom line — we all have to thank Shuli!

Easy Meat

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Sesame, Egg

Directions

Prepare the Meat Mixture

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, shallow pot.

  2. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes, until slightly golden. Add the

    peppers and mix; cook until softened. Add the ground meat, using a wooden

    spatula to break it up into small pieces.

  3. Add the tomato paste and spices and mix. Cook until meat is cooked through

    and no longer pink. Set aside.

To Assemble

  1. Place the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs.

  3. Lay one tortilla flat and place 1/2 cup of the meat mixture just below the center. Lift the lower edge over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, and roll it up to create a neatly sealed wrap. To ensure that it stays closed, use the water and flour mixture to seal it.

  4. Dip each tortilla into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs. Coat well, pressing the bread crumbs gently onto the wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. Heat oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas for two minutes on each side, until golden.

How can this be done in the oven?

I would spray them well with oil on both sides and put them in the oven at 375 for 10 min and check to see if they need longer.
