Ingredients
UnitsScale
3cups cooked shredded roast beef
1/2cup banana pepper rings (mild or hot, to taste)
1cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
6 small flour tortillas
1 head of romaine or green leaf lettuce
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: sour cream or ranch dressing for serving
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shredded roast beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crisped. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Warm flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft.
Lay a few lettuce leaves on each tortilla as a base layer.
Top with warm shredded beef, then add banana pepper rings, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and cilantro.
Serve immediately with sour cream or ranch dressing on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
Use pickled banana peppers for extra tang and a flavor boost.
Swap out the cheese type to fit your flavor preference (pepper jack adds heat).
Leftover roast beef works perfectly in this recipe.
For a lower-carb version, use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
