Beef and Feta Cream Wraps

These beef and feta cream wraps are my go-to when I want something filling without feeling heavy They combine warm seasoned beef crisp veggies and a tangy feta yogurt sauce all bundled in a wholesome wrap Perfect for quick lunches or casual dinners everyone seems to love how fresh yet satisfying they are

I whipped these up on a busy weeknight the first time and was amazed how they became my family’s new favorite We now rotate them in for an easy weekend lunch or light dinner since everyone gets to build their own wrap

Ingredients

• Ground beef: good source of protein choose lean for a lighter wrap
• Shredded lettuce: adds crunch and freshness use crisp romaine or iceberg
• Tomato: diced for juiciness pick a firm ripe tomato for best flavor
• Red onion: sliced thin enough for bite without overpowering
• Feta cheese: brings tangy creamy flavor opt for block feta for freshest taste
• Plain yogurt: keeps the sauce light and tangy whole milk yogurt works best
• Dried oregano: adds Mediterranean depth check your spice for freshness
• Whole wheat tortillas: soft and nutty choose tortillas that bend easily without cracking

Instructions

Brown the Beef:

Heat a skillet over medium-high and add the ground beef breaking up any clumps with a spatula Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until fully browned and crumbly Drain any excess fat for a lighter wrap and season generously with salt and pepper Taste and adjust

Mix the Feta Cream:

In a mixing bowl combine crumbled feta with plain yogurt and dried oregano Stir vigorously until creamy If your feta is dry add a small spoonful of water or yogurt for a spreadable dip

Prep the Veggies:

Wash and finely shred the lettuce Dice the tomato into small pieces and thinly slice the red onion Pat tomatoes dry with a towel to keep wraps from getting soggy

Assemble the Wraps:

Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface Start with a layer of lettuce followed by a scoop of warm beef tomato and onion Spoon a generous dollop of feta cream sauce down the center Do not overfill or wraps will tear

Roll and Serve:

Tuck in the sides of each tortilla and roll firmly from the bottom up to form a snug wrap Slice in half if desired Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture

My favorite part is definitely the feta yogurt sauce Its creamy sharp and blends so well with the beef that sometimes we make extra just for dipping Warm wraps like these remind me of weekend picnics with my little ones unwrapping them outdoors and laughing about onion tears

Storage Tips

Keep any leftover beef in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days Store the feta sauce separately to keep it fresh and never assemble wraps in advance or the tortillas will get soggy Reheat beef in a skillet over low heat and build wraps just before serving

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap ground beef for lean turkey or chicken for an even lighter filling Greek yogurt works just as well in place of plain yogurt and if feta is too tangy mild goat cheese makes a great alternative The wraps are also delicious with gluten-free tortillas if you need to avoid wheat

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps with a crisp cucumber salad or a handful of roasted chickpeas for crunch For heartier appetites add a side of sweet potato fries A squeeze of lemon gives an extra zesty kick right before serving

Cultural and Seasonal Notes

Whole wheat wraps with Mediterranean flavors nod to classic Greek street food though this version is streamlined for busy home cooks Summer tomatoes and peak season red onions bring even more freshness Explore local produce for the best taste

Seasonal Adaptations

Replace lettuce with baby spinach during cooler months Grill wraps lightly in a pan for a warm crisped version Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley when available
