Save A homemade version of the iconic Crunchwrap Supreme, featuring seasoned beef, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, and crunchy tostada, all wrapped in a perfectly toasted tortilla.
I tried making these Crunchwraps for a casual family weekend, and everyone loved creating their own versions right at the dinner table. The crisp, golden exterior and flavorful filling made it a surprise hit!
Ingredients
- Meat & Protein: 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, 1 tbsp taco seasoning, 2 tbsp water
- Dairy: 1 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup (120 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
- Vegetables: 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, 1 medium tomato, diced
- Tortillas & Crunch: 4 large flour tortillas (12 inch), 4 tostada shells, 4 small flour tortillas (6 inch)
- Sauces & Seasonings: 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- Optional: 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer for 2 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Warm Tortillas:
- Warm the large flour tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable.
- Assemble Crunchwrap:
- Lay one large tortilla on a clean surface. In the center, spread 1/4 of the ground beef. Drizzle with 2 tbsp nacho cheese sauce. Place a tostada shell on top.
- Layer Fillings:
- Spread 2 tbsp sour cream over the tostada. Add lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Add jalapeños if using.
- Add Small Tortilla & Fold:
- Place a small flour tortilla over the fillings. Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the center, pleating as you go, to fully enclose the filling.
- Grill Crunchwrap:
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam side down and cook for 2 3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until crisp.
- Repeat & Serve:
- Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice in half and serve hot.
