Spicy Orange Beef Wraps
Prepped Spicy Orange Beef Wraps for work lunches. Tasty in a wrap or on a plate. The orange flavor complements the steak perfectly.
Making these Spicy Orange Beef Wraps was a breeze! Seriously, the hardest part was frying the meat in batches to get that perfect sear. Once you taste the bold flavors of the beef combined with the zesty orange sauce, you’ll understand why I love these wraps. Plus, these frozen wraps are perfect for tossing in your lunch bag for a quick and satisfying meal. You can whip up your own homemade wraps, but when I’m in a pinch, I reach for Extreme Wellness wraps. I appreciate their better ingredients, even though they’re still processed. Remember, everything in moderation! But if I have the time, homemade always wins.

How to Meal Prep Spicy Orange Beef Wraps
When it comes to meal prepping these delicious Spicy Orange Beef Wraps, you have two fantastic options. You can either serve the beef on a bed of rice for a hearty bowl or go for the wraps and freeze them for later. Personally, I can’t stand eating the same lunch every day. So, when I meal prep, I prefer to freeze individual portions instead of prepping a week’s worth of the same meal. But hey, you do you!
How to Store Spicy Orange Beef Wraps in The Freezer
Want to make sure your Spicy Orange Beef Wraps stay fresh? Here’s a quick guide on how to store them in the freezer:
- Toast the Wraps: Toast the wraps just like you would if you were serving them right away. This step adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Cool Them Down: Allow the wraps to cool completely to maintain their texture.
- Wrap It Up: Use a single layer of plastic wrap to securely wrap each wrap. This helps lock in freshness.
- Double Wrap: Next, wrap them in a double layer of aluminum foil. This prevents freezer burn and keeps them safe!
- Bag It: Place the wrapped wraps in a freezer-safe baggie for added protection.
- Keep Track: Consume within 6 months for the best flavor and texture.
- Reheat & Enjoy: To serve, pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes or until heated through. Let them cool slightly before diving in.

Spicy Orange Beef Wraps
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lb sirloin steak (or flank steak, cut into strips)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 medium chopped red bell pepper
- 1 large chopped onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (about half an orange worth)
- ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 5 tbsp coconut aminos
- 3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
- 6 flour tortilla wraps
Instructions
- Cook 1 cup jasmine rice according to package directions. Keep warm if serving immediately, or allow to cool if meal prepping.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp cornstarch with salt and pepper. Coat 1 lb sirloin steak in the cornstarch mixture until completely coated.
- Heat 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet until hot. Carefully add the coated beef and cook until crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Once crispy and cooked through, use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pan.
- In the same skillet with remaining oil, reduce heat to medium and add 1 medium chopped red bell pepper and 1 large chopped onion.
- While the peppers and onions are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing 1 teaspoon orange zest, ½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice, 5 tbsp coconut aminos, 3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon powdered ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a separate bowl.
- Pour the prepared orange sauce over the cooking vegetables. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 minute. Add the cooked beef back into the pan, stir, and heat through for an additional minute.
- To assemble the wraps, add rice and beef mixture to each tortilla wrap. Once the mixture is contained in the wrap, return it to the heated skillet for a minute or two to seal the edges and lightly toast the outside. Optionally, serve beef and veggies over rice.
