How to Make Your Crunchwrap

Step 1: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Add Flavor

Stir in the diced onions and pickles. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble

Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center, layer the shredded lettuce, cheeses, and the cooked beef mixture.

Step 4: Wrap it Up

Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling, creating a square shape to mimic a crunchwrap.

Step 5: Cook the Crunchwrap

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 6: The Finishing Touch

In a small bowl, mix together the shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, additional onions, pickles, and Thousand Island dressing.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the crunchwraps warm, topped with the fresh lettuce-tomato mixture.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure even cooking: To get that perfectly crispy exterior without burning, keep your skillet at a medium heat and press down slightly on the crunchwrap with a spatula.
• No soggy bottoms: If you’re making multiple crunchwraps, keep them warm in the oven on a wire rack over a baking sheet to maintain crispness.

Substitutions/Variations

• Vegetarian: Swap the ground beef for crumbled tofu or a meat substitute, seasoned similarly.
• Cheese options: Feel adventurous with your cheese choices—perhaps a spicy pepper jack or a smoky gouda.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! Prepare the fillings and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and cook the crunchwraps when you’re ready to eat.

What’s the best way to fold a crunchwrap?

Think of folding a hexagon from a circle. Start by folding the bottom up over the center and continue around the tortilla until it’s completely enclosed.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
