Let’s Make It Together

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions, sautéing until tender, about 5–7 minutes. Once softened, push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.

2. Cook the Steak: Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet. Season generously with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Once the steak is ready, mix the vegetables back in with the steak and remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a slice of cheese in the center, then add a generous portion of the steak and vegetable mixture. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

4. Grill the Wraps: Heat a griddle or grill pan over medium heat. Add the butter or a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Place the wraps seam-side down onto the pan and grill for 2–3 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to ensure they get wonderfully golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve: Once grilled, remove the wraps from the pan and cut them in half for easy serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauces or sides!

Delicious Variations to Try

• Zesty BBQ Twist: Add a tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the filling for a sweet, smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the steak.
• Spicy Jalapeño Kick: Toss in some jalapeño slices or crushed red pepper flakes to give your wraps an exciting kick!
• Creamy Avocado Upgrade: Spread mashed avocado onto the tortilla before adding the filling for a rich and creamy touch.
• Vegetarian Delight: Substitute the steak with grilled mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach topped with cheese for a delightful meat-free option.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a quick assembly after a busy day.
• Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to mix in other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
• Slicing Tricks: For easier handling, freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing. It will firm up nicely, making it easier to achieve those thin slices.
• Storage Suggestions: Leftover wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat them on the griddle to retain their crispiness!
