I am not lying, stretching the truth or using ingredients already cooked or prepared. Twenty five minutes, really is what it take to prepare and make these easy wraps. So, if you really are looking for a quick mid week dinner, this could fit the bill perfectly. And if you want to try something really great, take a look at my Steak Salad Wraps!
I am sure we all know how to put wraps together, and do we really need a recipe for it? Probably not, I know. However, I am choosing to share this as a recipe because there are days when we are all stuck and even the most simplest of things don’t come to mind. Things like these easy wraps.
Notes About The Easy Beef Wraps
- Apart from the spices used in putting together the beef, this recipe only uses cheese, tomatoes and spring onions as topping. So, very few ingredients indeed.
- Sometimes, I like to make my own wraps. You can check out the recipe for those here if you like. I quite often make a huge stack and put them in the freezer.
- If you are going to dive into making your own wraps, keep in mind they do not store well. I never get them to last longer than a day, then they go dry and brittle. However, like stated before, they can be frozen from fresh and left to defrost at room temperature before reheating. If you have never made them, they are very rewarding and quite easy to be honest.
So, go ahead and wrap up dinner in under 30 minutes!
