How to Make Beef Breakfast Wraps
Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious beef breakfast wraps:
1. Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs
In a separate pan, scramble your eggs until fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
Using the same skillet as the beef (or a new one), sauté diced bell peppers and onions until softened. Spinach can be added toward the end to wilt quickly.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with scrambled eggs, cooked beef, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese. Add any optional toppings like salsa or avocado slices for extra flavor.
5. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from one end to the other to create a wrap.
6. Heat and Serve
For an added touch, place the assembled wraps in a skillet or on a grill pan for 1-2 minutes on each side to lightly toast them. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Beef Breakfast Wraps
- Meal Prep Friendly: Make several wraps ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
- Freeze for Later: These wraps freeze beautifully! Wrap them individually in foil or plastic wrap before freezing. When you’re ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add black beans, corn, jalapeños, or even hash browns for extra texture and flavor.
- Use Leftovers: Got leftover steak or roast beef? Shred it up and use it as a filling instead of ground beef!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (you can also use lean beef if you prefer)
4 large tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite variety)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
1/4 cup diced onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional toppings: salsa, avocado slices, sour cream, or hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease if needed. Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside once fully cooked.
- In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until they are fluffy and fully cooked. You can season them with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a generous portion of the cooked beef mixture to the center of the tortilla. Top it with scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings you like. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to create a wrap.
- For an extra crispy texture, you can place the assembled wraps back into a skillet or grill pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side. This step is optional but adds a nice crunch to your wraps.
- Cut the wraps in half for easier handling and serve them warm with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
