The process of making it is so simple, and all you have to do is fry the ground beef with some taco seasoning. Then you will stir cream cheese and salsa, where all the flavors come from. Then you will divide your ground beef mixture into 6 individual wholewheat tortillas. At this point, I assume you can use any kind of tortilla you want, depending on your taste ( corn tortilla, plain flour tortilla, flaxseed tortilla, etc.) And then, you are going to brush it with some butter and top it with grated cheese for an excellent finish. Enjoy!
