Ingredients

For this homemade delight, you’ll need:

• Large flour tortillas (the burrito-sized ones)
• Ground beef (1 pound, cooked and seasoned with taco spices)
• Nacho cheese sauce (1 cup)
• Tostada shells (6 pieces)
• Sour cream (½ cup)
• Romaine lettuce (shredded, 1 cup)
• Tomatoes (diced, ½ cup)
• Shredded cheese (Mexican blend, 1 cup)
• Cooking oil (for light frying)

How to Make

1. Prepare the Ground Beef: Start by cooking your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain the fat and add your favorite taco seasoning.
2. Warm the Tortillas: To make the tortillas more pliable, warm them slightly in a microwave or on a skillet.
3. Assemble the Crunchwrap:
   • Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface.
   • Spread a couple of tablespoons of nacho cheese in the center, then add a layer of cooked beef.
   • Place a tostada shell on top of the beef and spread a thin layer of sour cream over it.
   • Add lettuce, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
   • Fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a flat, round package.
4. Cook the Crunchwrap: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Helpful Tips

• Securing the Wrap: Use a little nacho cheese or sour cream as a ‘glue’ to hold the tortilla folds in place.
• Even Cooking: Press down on the crunchwrap with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning and heating.

Substitutions/Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef for a mixture of black beans and quinoa for a hearty vegetarian version.
• Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or chipotle sauce to the beef for extra heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
   • Absolutely! Assemble the crunchwraps and store them in the refrigerator. Cook just before serving to maintain the crunch.
2. What if I don’t have tostada shells?
   • You can use a small corn tortilla or even a crunchy corn taco shell broken in half.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap, for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
