Ingredients for Beef Avocado Wraps

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Ground Cumin
  • Garlic Clove
  • Dried Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 ½ cups cooked beef (leftover roast, steak, etc.)
  • Tortillas
  • Lettuce Leaves
  • ½ cup sliced avocado
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • Colby Monterey Jack Cheese

How to Make Beef Avocado Wraps

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 clove minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon chili flakes until well combined.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 ½ cups cooked beef until warmed through.
  4. Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
  6. Top each tortilla with 1 large lettuce leaf, then the warmed beef.
  7. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup sliced avocado, ½ cup diced tomatoes, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  8. Starting at one end, gently roll up each tortilla into a tight tube.
  9. Grate an additional ¼ cup of cheese over the top of the wraps.
  10. Place the wraps seam-down on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are warmed through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
