Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

On a clean surface, lay out a flour tortilla and spoon approximately 3/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, overlapping them slightly, to enclose the filling.
