Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground meat
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- Water (as required by taco seasoning packet)
Main Assembly
- 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 for spreading)
Instructions
- Cook the meat: In a skillet or large pan over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
- Season the beef: Return meat to the pan and stir in the taco seasoning mix along with the required amount of water as per the seasoning packet instructions. Cook according to package directions until fully incorporated and flavorful.
- Warm nacho cheese: Heat the nacho cheese sauce in the microwave until warm and set aside for assembly.
- Warm tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a plate and microwave them for about 20 seconds to make them pliable for folding.
- Start assembly: Lay one warm tortilla flat. Spread a couple of tablespoons of warm nacho cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Add meat: Spoon approximately ½ cup of the seasoned taco meat on top of the nacho cheese layer.
- Layer fillings: Place a tostada shell on top of the meat, then add a thin layer of sour cream, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and finish with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
- Fold the crunchwrap: Begin folding the bottom edge of the tortilla up to the center over the fillings, then continue folding around the tortilla’s circumference, pulling as tight as possible to encase the fillings securely.
- Cook crunchwrap: Preheat a clean skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and cook other side: Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook the other side for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining tortillas and enjoy the crunchwraps immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Make sure the tortillas are warmed to prevent cracking while folding.
- Use a non-stick skillet and cooking spray to avoid sticking and help achieve a crisp crust.
- For extra spice, add jalapeños or hot sauce inside the filling.
- Crunchwraps are best eaten fresh to maintain their crisp texture.
