Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain excess fat from the beef, then add the taco seasoning packet and water as directed on the seasoning package. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid reduces and beef is fully seasoned.
- Warm the large flour tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a griddle to make them more pliable.
- Place one flour tortilla on a clean work surface and spread a generous layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Add a portion of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cheese sauce.
- Place a tostada shell or hard corn tortilla directly on top of the beef to create the signature Crunchwrap crunch layer.
- Spread a thin layer of sour cream over the tostada shell.
- Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
- Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating a hexagonal shape that completely encloses the filling.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy and sealed.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh, large flour tortillas for the best wrapping experience. If they're stiff, warm them slightly in the microwave to make folding easier.
- The key to a perfect Crunchwrap is creating a tight seal. Take your time folding the edges and press down firmly to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Choose a non-stick skillet and use medium heat to achieve that golden-brown, crispy exterior without burning the tortilla.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese inside before sealing or using homemade taco seasoning instead of a packet.
- If you want to make these ahead, you can prepare the filled Crunchwraps and refrigerate them, cooking just before serving to maintain maximum crispiness.
