πŸ’ͺ Protein Macros (approx. per wrap)

Using lean beef & high-protein tortillas:

  • Protein: ~25–30 g
  • Calories: ~350–400

πŸ‘‰ Swap beef for extra-lean beef, ground turkey, or bison for even higher protein.


πŸ”₯ Easy Variations

  • Cheesy Taco Wraps: add taco seasoning + extra cheese
  • BBQ Beef Wraps: swap spices for BBQ seasoning
  • Tex-Mex: add black beans + corn (still protein-packed)
  • Low-carb: use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas

🧊 Meal-Prep Tip

  • Cook beef ahead and refrigerate up to 4 days
  • Assemble and toast wraps fresh for best texture
