# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Cook minced beef in a pan on medium flame until brown. You'll know it's done when you can't see any pink bits. Dump extra fat using a colander.
02 -
Return meat to the pan on medium flame. Mix in all spices and water, stirring well. Let it bubble until liquid vanishes.
03 -
Get cooking oil hot in another pan on medium heat. Start putting together your wraps while waiting.
04 -
Spread a spoonful of beans near one edge of each wrap. Add a spoon or two of meat mixture, then scatter plenty of cheese on top.
05 -
Start rolling the wrap over the fillings. Halfway through, tuck both sides inward, then finish rolling tightly so nothing leaks out.
06 -
Keep making wraps until you've used all your ingredients or completed the amount you want.
07 -
Drop each wrap into hot oil with the FOLDED EDGE DOWN first. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden. Don't forget to brown the edges too.
08 -
Take them out and let them dry on a tray or paper towels. Add your favorite toppings and sauces. Dig in!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can make these tasty parcels ahead and stick them in the freezer for later.
02 -
Wrap them super tight so the stuffing stays inside while cooking.
03 -
Always drop them folded-side down first when frying to keep them sealed.
