Additional Ingredients:

Instructions:
- Cook the Beef: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, paprika (or ground red chili), crushed red pepper flakes, and hot sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare the Sour Cream: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if necessary. Set aside.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the red cabbage, lettuce, carrots, boiled corn, onions, and optional pickled jalapeños. Dress with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side for added flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer a generous amount of the beef mixture, followed by the salad mix. Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top. Drizzle with the homemade sour cream.
- Cook the Wrap: Fold the tortillas over the filling and press gently. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each wrap with a bit of butter until golden and crispy on both sides.
