🥛Dairy & Eggs(2)
- 5g light butter (0.35 tbsp)

🫙Pantry Staples(2)
- 20g tortilla chips - I used chilli heatwave (0.71 oz)
- 2 flour tortilla wraps
🍯Sauces & Condiments(1)
- Tsp distilled vinegar (5 ml)
📦Other(3)
- 2 ladles of leftover chilli
- Tsp dried chive (5 ml)
- 60g fat free greek yoghurt (2.12 oz)could sub with sour cream and chive shop brought
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Start by making up the chive sauce and set to one side.
- 2
Next, slice the wrap half way down the center. In one quadrant, add the cheese, then the chilli beef, the tortilla chips, followed by the chive sauce.
- 3
Fold carefully before transferring to a pan. Keep on one side for a minute and half before flipping for a further minute and half.
- 4
Whilst the wrap cooks, in a bowl melt the butter and chopped garlic in a microwave. Stir to combine and add the chopped parsley.
- 5
Serve brushing over the garlic butter with any leftover chive sauce.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Slice the tortilla only halfway through its diameter, cutting from the center to the edge, so you create four quadrants that fold into a stable triangle rather than a wrap that falls apart.techniquehalfway cut, 4 quadrants
- ✓Layer the cheese directly against the tortilla before adding the hot chilli beef so it acts as a moisture barrier, melting into a seal at 150-160°F that prevents the tortilla from becoming soggy from the beef's juices.technique150-160°F cheese melt point
- ✓Add tortilla chips as a middle layer rather than on top, since their starch structure stays crisp only when insulated from direct steam contact with the chive sauce for the full 3-minute cook.ingredient3-minute total cook
- ✓Cook the folded wrap for exactly 90 seconds per side over medium heat so the Maillard reaction browns the exterior into a crisp shell while the cheese fully melts without scorching the tortilla's sugars.timing90 seconds per side, medium heat
- ✓Melt the butter and garlic in the microwave in 15-second bursts rather than continuously, since garlic's allicin compounds turn bitter above 200°F and continuous heating risks scorching before the butter fully liquefies.equipment15-second bursts, under 200°F
