Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak or sirloin steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • ½ cucumber, sliced thin
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup ranch dressing or garlic mayo
  • Optional: sliced avocado, jalapeños, pickles, or hot sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it rest for about 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 2: Grill the Steak

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and your preferred level of doneness.

Step 3: Rest and Slice

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain for the most tender bites.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

Heat each tortilla for about 20 seconds on a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Spread ranch or garlic mayo over each tortilla. Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, cheese, and sliced steak.

Step 6: Wrap and Serve

Fold in the sides, roll the tortilla tightly, and serve immediately. You can also grill the wrapped tortillas for 1–2 minutes on each side to make them extra crispy.

My Favorite Tips

  • Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Slice against the grain for the most tender texture.
  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing.
  • Don’t overfill the wraps or they’ll be difficult to roll.
  • Add avocado for extra creaminess.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens all the flavors.

Easy Variations

  • Swap steak for grilled chicken.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms and peppers.
  • Make it spicy with chipotle sauce or jalapeños.
  • Try pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.

What to Serve with Grilled Steak Wraps

Storage Tips

Store leftover steak separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep vegetables and tortillas separate until you’re ready to assemble fresh wraps. Reheat the steak gently in a skillet before serving.
