Crispy Beef & Pepper Cones

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Servings: 4 cones


Ingredients

  • The Wrap: 2 large flour tortillas, halved to create semi-circles.
  • The Filling:
    • 1 lb lean ground beef, browned and seasoned.
    • 1 cup bell peppers (red and green), sliced into small strips.
    • 1/4 cup savory brown gravy or steak sauce to create a glossy finish.
  • The Melt: 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese.
  • The Crunch: 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing).

Instructions

  1. Sauté: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add Peppers: Toss in the bell pepper strips and sauté for 3–5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.
  3. Sauce it Up: Stir in your gravy or steak sauce, ensuring the beef and peppers are thoroughly coated and glistening.
  4. Form the Cones: Take a tortilla semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, securing the edge with a toothpick if necessary.
  5. Stuff: Layer a little shredded cheese at the bottom of the cone, followed by a generous scoop of the beef and pepper mixture, and top with more cheese.
  6. Crisp: Brush the outside of the tortilla with melted butter. Place the cones in an air fryer at 375°F or a hot skillet for 3–5 minutes, rotating until the shell is golden-brown and the cheese is oozing out the top.
  7. Serve: Remove toothpicks and serve immediately while the filling is hot and the shell is crunchy.
