Ingredients

this Recipe

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
• Ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
• Taco seasoning
• Water
• Nacho cheese sauce (or shredded cheese)
• Tostada shells
• Sour cream
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Cooking oil or butter (for toasting)

Directions

1. Cook the beef – In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring until thickened.
2. Warm the tortillas – Microwave large tortillas for about 10 seconds to make them pliable.
3. Assemble the Crunchwrap
   • Spread nacho cheese sauce in the center of a large tortilla.
   • Add a scoop of seasoned beef.
   • Place a tostada shell on top for crunch.
   • Spread sour cream over the tostada.
   • Add lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
4. Fold the tortilla – Fold the edges of the tortilla over the center in a circular pattern, creating a sealed wrap. If needed, place a small piece of another tortilla in the center to help cover gaps.
5. Cook the Crunchwrap – Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until crispy.
6. Serve immediately – Enjoy warm with extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole!
