Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ground beef
Frozen or homemade French fries
Shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
Flour tortillas or wraps
Lettuce (shredded)
Tomato (diced)
Onion (optional)
Sour cream or mayonnaise (optional for spreading)
Taco seasoning or preferred spices
Cooking oil

Directions

I start by cooking the French fries until they’re golden and crispy—either in the oven, air fryer, or deep fryer.
While the fries are cooking, I brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, then drain the excess fat.
I mix in the taco seasoning with a splash of water and let it simmer until the flavors soak in and the mixture thickens.
I warm the tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave to make them easier to fold.
I layer the center of each tortilla with cheese first, so it melts from the heat of the beef and fries.
Then I add a generous spoonful of seasoned beef, followed by hot fries, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
If I’m in the mood, I spread some sour cream or mayo inside before folding.
I roll up each tortilla tightly into a wrap and give it a quick toast on a pan or grill for that delicious crispy finish.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps. It takes approximately 35 minutes from start to finish: 10 minutes for prep and 25 minutes for cooking.

Variations

I sometimes swap the beef for shredded chicken for a different twist. For extra spice, I add jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce. If I want a vegetarian version, I use black beans or a meat substitute and add grilled peppers. I also enjoy trying different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella, depending on what I have on hand.

storage/reheating

If I have leftovers, I wrap them in foil and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I prefer using a skillet or oven to keep the fries crispy—about 10 minutes at 350°F does the trick. The microwave works in a pinch but can make the fries a little soggy.

FAQs

What kind of fries work best for this wrap?

I usually go with straight-cut fries, but curly fries or waffle fries also work well. The key is making sure they’re crispy so they hold up in the wrap.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I recommend prepping the components ahead, like cooking the beef and chopping the veggies, but assembling the wrap just before eating keeps everything fresh and crispy.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Absolutely. I often tone down the spices for younger eaters, and it’s easy to let kids customize their own wraps.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I don’t usually freeze them because the fries tend to get mushy. But if I do, I wrap them tightly and reheat in the oven for the best texture.

What sauce goes well with this wrap?

I like using a spicy mayo, ranch, or even barbecue sauce. It adds a nice creamy element and pulls everything together.
