Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Crunchwrap:

  • 1 burrito-size flour tortilla
  • 1 tostada shell
  • 1/2 cup seasoned ground beef (see instructions below)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup cooked frozen potatoes (optional, but delicious)
  • 1 small tortilla (to fill the center gap)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef

  • In a skillet, cook 1/2 lb ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then set aside.

2. Cook the Potatoes (Optional)

  • Cook the frozen potatoes according to the package instructions. Set aside.

3. Warm the Tortillas

  • Warm the burrito-size tortilla and small tortilla in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.

4. Assemble the Crunchwrap

  • Place the burrito-size tortilla on a flat surface.
  • Spread nacho cheese sauce in the center of the tortilla.
  • Add a layer of seasoned ground beef, followed by the tostada shell.
  • Top the tostada with sour cream, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and cooked potatoes (if using).
  • Place the small tortilla on top to cover the filling and fill the center gap.

5. Fold & Brown

  • Fold the edges of the burrito-size tortilla over the filling, creating pleats to seal the Crunchwrap.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the Crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

6. Serve & Enjoy

  • Cut in half (optional) and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Crunchwrap Supreme

  • Use a Large Tortilla: A burrito-size tortilla ensures you have enough room to fold and seal the Crunchwrap.
  • Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make it hard to fold and seal.
  • Customize the Fillings: Add guacamole, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Keep the Tostada Crunchy: Add it just before folding to maintain its texture.

Serving Ideas

  • With Sides: Serve with chips and salsa, guacamole, or a side salad.
  • For Parties: Make mini Crunchwraps for a fun party appetizer.
  • As a Meal Prep Option: Assemble the Crunchwraps (without browning) and store in the fridge. Brown them in a skillet when ready to eat.
