Introduction

The Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme is a deliciously satisfying Tex-Mex dish that combines seasoned beef, crispy tostada shells, and creamy toppings all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. This recipe brings your favorite fast-food treat to your kitchen with easy steps and fresh ingredients.

The image shows a toasted, square-shaped wrap folded neatly into five triangular flaps, each with a golden brown toasted texture on top.

Ingredients

1 lb ground meat
1 packet taco seasoning mix
6 burrito size flour tortillas
6 tostada shells
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 diced tomato
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Nacho cheese sauce (amount as desired)

Instructions

Step 1: In a skillet or large pan, cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain any grease.
Step 2: Return the meat to the pan and stir in the taco seasoning mix along with the water called for on the packet. Cook according to package instructions.
Step 3: Warm the nacho cheese sauce in the microwave and set it aside.
Step 4: Place the flour tortillas on a plate and warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
Step 5: Lay one warmed tortilla flat and spread a couple of tablespoons of nacho cheese in the center.
Step 6: Add ½ cup of the seasoned taco meat on top of the nacho cheese.
Step 7: Top the meat with a tostada shell, then add a thin layer of sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and finish with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
Step 8: Fold the edges of the tortilla up toward the center over the fillings, working around the tortilla to create a tight wrap.
Step 9: Spray a clean skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 10: Flip the crunchwrap and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Step 11: Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings, then serve immediately while warm and crunchy.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground meat with seasoned black beans or cooked lentils.
Use different types of cheese like pepper jack or cheddar for a twist in flavor.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet instead of the microwave for a slightly toasted flavor.
Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce if you like extra heat.

Storage

Store leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the exterior from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows three pieces of a quesadilla on a shiny black plate, set against a white marbled surface. Each quesadilla slice has a toasted, slightly browned flour tortilla with three visible layers inside. The bottom layer is browned cooked ground beef with a crumbly texture, above it is melted yellow cheese that looks smooth and creamy, and the top layer contains fresh diced red tomatoes mixed with shredded pale green lettuce and a dollop of white sour cream. The quesadilla slices are stacked and slightly overlapping, showing the gooey inside clearly. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the crunchwraps ahead of time?

You can assemble the crunchwraps and refrigerate them for a few hours before cooking. Just cook them fresh when ready for the best texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of tostada shells?

If tostada shells are unavailable, you can substitute with crispy tortilla chips or baked small tortillas for added crunch inside the wrap.
