These steak and cheese wraps are the epitome of comfort food, elevated. Forget those bland fast food imitations.

I got this recipe from a friend, a true culinary genius, named James. James, a master of simple yet elegant cooking, insisted that cooking didn’t need to be difficult. His methods were always straightforward, and his food consistently outstanding! This recipe embodies this very philosophy. It's a testament to the power of good ingredients and a little patience (yes, caramelizing those onions requires patience).

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, let's tackle those caramelized onions. Thinly slice about two large onions. Don't be afraid to really get them thin—trust me on this. I once made the mistake of slicing them too thick, and the result was disappointing. They ended up more sauteed than caramelized.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil (this combo prevents burning). Add your onions, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of sugar (the sugar helps the caramelization process). Stir occasionally, you know, let them sit and gently brown.
  3. Cook the onions until they are deeply golden brown and sweet, about 20-30 minutes. This is where patience is key. They'll go from translucent to beautiful dark brown, which will give your wraps an amazing flavor. If they start to stick, add a splash more oil.
  4. Meanwhile, season your steak (about 8 ounces). I like to keep it simple—salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder. Cook the steak according to your preference – whether you grill, pan-fry or broil, ensure its cooked thoroughly.
  5. Once the steak is done, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. Then, slice it thinly against the grain. This will make it super tender and easy to eat in the wraps.
  6. Warm your tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or you can even microwave them for 15-20 seconds. Just don't let them burn, unless you enjoy the taste of burnt tortillas.
  7. Now for the assembly! Spread a generous amount of your amazing caramelized onions on each tortilla. Top with a few slices of steak. Add your cheese (about 2-3 slices per wrap). Remember, this part is all about how much you like onions and steak. Add more if you want more. I love me a good onion-to-steak ratio.
  8. Fold the tortillas in half or roll them up tightly. If you're feeling fancy, you can even grill them lightly in the same skillet used for the onions to get some nice grill marks, though this isn't absolutely necessary. Just another option!
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! These wraps are perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or even a late-night snack. And honestly? They are way better than any fast-food wrap you could buy—and probably more nutritious too!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak for 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to add some spices to the steak. A splash of Worcestershire sauce also does the trick. If you do not have garlic powder, skip it.
