Step-by-step instructions
- Heat the oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced onion and green pepper, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the sliced beef. Season it with salt and pepper, cooking until browned and cooked through.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of the beef mixture on one side. Top with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure.
- In the same skillet, grill the wrap until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, then slice the wraps in half to serve warm.
Best ways to enjoy it
Served warm, these Crispy Cheesesteak-Style Grilled Wraps are fantastic on their own, but you can elevate your meal with tasty sides like sweet potato fries, a crisp garden salad, or a side of homemade coleslaw. Pair them with dips like marinara or a zesty ranch dressing for an added layer of flavor.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 days. For reheating, pop them back in a skillet over medium heat to regain that crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the tortillas soggy. If you want to save them for longer, consider freezing the ungrilled wraps before cooking; just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
Helpful cooking tips
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor—look for high-quality beef and seasonal vegetables.
- If you’re in a pinch, pre-cooked deli beef can save time. Just warm it up in the skillet!
- Don’t skip the searing step; this helps to enhance the flavors and gives the beef that irresistible crust.
