You can adjust the amount of paprika to your spiciness level. Easy to change by swapping the ground beef out for shredded chicken or shredded slow cooker beef roast. I’ve used my blackened chicken recipe shredded up, that really takes it up a notch. You may need to omit the additional paprika. I didn’t, but I like the heat.
A VERSATILE RECIPE
Great for a quick dinner, these southwest beef tortilla wraps can be made in less than 30 minutes, and they are infinitely adaptable. Place in tortilla, tacos, over rice or noodles. Compliment with your choice of sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese. Low sodium of course!
But since it leaves a bit of wiggle room, indulge in a nice shredded cheese topping. If you can find low-sodium tortillas great! If not available, as it is pretty much here locally, try my easy homemade low-no sodium tortilla recipe. I used a tortilla for this particular dish adding only 3mg sodium per wrap!
You can also crisp up the tortilla after filling by giving the wrap a quick shot of cooking spray all over and putting it in a hot skillet or under the broiler for a few minutes turning halfway through or when browned.
My Low Sodium Mexican Rice is excellent to have as a side accompaniment.
Be sure to check out this southwestern beef tortilla wrap and don’t hold back on its versatility. Lettuce wraps maybe? Or maybe some homemade Low-Sodium Enchilada Sauce? What are you waiting for?

Another winner!!!! You have been teaching me how to use spices other than salt to get flavors. I kept thinking that any Mexican/Southwestern dishes would not be possible. I did find some corn tortillas that are only 15mg of Sodium. Leaving the rice out, the filling made perfect little soft shell taco rollups. Thank you again for a great meal.
I have recently begun a low/no sodium diet. I am so thankful to have come across your website! This recipe turned out so good! I wanted my veggies cooked a little more than 5 minutes but not a problem. Your ideas of spices to put into the different recipes help so much to cover the taste of no salt!! I keep coming back to your site to fix more meals. Do you have recommendations for a marinade for grilling? And also spice combinations for single vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower.
Hi Susette. Thanks for the review. For a marinade you could use the marinade portion of the recipe from my https://tastyhealthyheartrecipes.com/main-dishes/entrees/low-sodium-garlic-steak-zucchini-noodles/. For vegetables, I usually use the Mrs Dash no salt spices. The Orignal Table Blend should do well.
