  2. Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
  3. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped lettuce and tomatoes.

Notes

For a quicker version, use pre-cooked ground beef or a store-bought taco seasoning. Consider using different cheeses like Monterey Jack or jalapeños for added flavor.
