Steps:
- Make a taco mold by rolling out aluminum foil and folding it over in 10-inch increments until you have a 4-sheet-thick piece of foil. Fold the large foil square in half horizontally, bringing the bottom to the top, and then turn 90 degrees. Crimp over the top and bottom edges by 1 inch, and then fold over the sides by 1 inch. Place the aluminum foil roll or a narrow rolling pin into the center of the foil square and bring the sides together to create a hollow, narrow tube to mold the taco, making sure it can stand up on the long side.
- Heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Heat the peanut oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer, about 5 minutes. Adjust the heat to maintain the temperature.
- Shape 1 tortilla around the aluminum foil mold, forming a taco shape. Use tongs to hold up the sides against the mold and put the bottom of the tortilla into the hot oil and fry for 20 seconds. Lay 1 side of the tortilla down in the hot oil and fry for 30 seconds. Flip the tortilla over and fry for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the taco shell to a cooling rack set over a newspaper lined half sheet pan and cool for 30 seconds before removing the mold. Sprinkle the hot tortillas with kosher salt, to taste. Repeat frying procedure with the remaining tortillas. Keep the taco shells warm in the heated oven while preparing the filling.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil from the skillet and return to medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook until softened and lightly browned around the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground meat, 1 teaspoon salt, and garlic. Cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to break up the meat. Add Taco Potion and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Assemble each taco with meat mixture, panela, jalapeno slices, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
- Put all of the ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your wrap. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Choose the right tortilla: There are many different types of tortillas available, so it's important to choose the one that's right for your wrap. For a classic wrap, use a soft, pliable tortilla that can be easily rolled up. If you're making a more substantial wrap, you can use a thicker tortilla or even a flatbread.
- Don't overstuff your wrap: One of the most common mistakes people make when making wraps is overstuffing them. This makes them difficult to roll up and eat, and it can also make them soggy. Aim to fill your wrap with just enough ingredients so that it's still easy to fold and eat.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Wraps are a great way to use up leftover ingredients, so don't be afraid to get creative with your fillings. You can use anything from grilled chicken or fish to roasted vegetables or beans. Just make sure that the ingredients you choose complement each other and that they're not too wet or dry.
- Be careful with sauces and dressings: Sauces and dressings can add a lot of flavor to your wrap, but it's important to use them sparingly. Too much sauce or dressing can make your wrap soggy and difficult to eat. If you're using a sauce, spread it evenly over the tortilla before adding the other ingredients. If you're using a dressing, drizzle it over the wrap after it's been rolled up.
Conclusion:
Wraps are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of wraps that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these wrap recipes a try.
