How to Make Sloppy Jose Wraps

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped celery and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree, and gently mash the tomatoes with a spoon. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Warm 6 large flour tortillas. Spread about 3/4 cup of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with your favorite shredded lettuce and roll up tightly.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
