Description
A fun and customizable copycat version of the fast-food Crunchwrap Supreme, featuring seasoned beef, melty cheese, and a crispy tostada.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb extra-lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup jarred nacho cheese sauce or queso (optional)
- 4 tostadas
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 plum tomato, deseeded and diced
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- Cooking spray (or a thin swipe of oil/butter)
Instructions
- Brown the beef. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook for 7–8 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Cut the smaller tortillas. Stack 4 flour tortillas. Place a tostada in the center as a size guide. Use scissors to cut around it, leaving about 1/2 inch extra all around. You’ll end up with 4 smaller tortilla rounds.
- Start the build. Lay one large tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a small mound of beef into the center, leaving plenty of border for folding.
- Add queso + tostada. Drizzle 1–2 tbsp nacho cheese/queso over the beef. Place one tostada on top.
- Add cool toppings. Spread sour cream over the tostada. Top with lettuce and tomato.
- Finish with shredded cheese + tortilla cap. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the toppings. Place one small tortilla round on top to create a “lid.”
- Fold and seal. Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the center, working around in pleats to form a tight hexagon. Keep it snug so it doesn’t open while cooking.
- Toast in the skillet. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Place the crunchwrap folded-side down first. Cook 2–3 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook 2–3 minutes more. Repeat for remaining crunchwraps.
- Serve. Cut each crunchwrap in half and enjoy while hot and crisp.
Notes
Crunchwraps are best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
