What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 lb lean ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning
- 4 large burrito size flour tortillas
- 4 small tostada shells
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce warmed
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce and diced tomato combined
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Cook the Seasoned Beef
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat and add taco seasoning packet with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir and simmer for 3 minutes until the beef is fully coated and fragrant.
Step 2: Warm and Prepare Tortillas
Microwave large flour tortillas for 20 seconds to make them pliable and easier to fold without cracking. Lay each tortilla flat on a work surface and have all filling components ready to assemble quickly before the tortilla cools.
Step 3: Build the Crunchwrap
Spread nacho cheese sauce in the center of each large tortilla. Add a portion of seasoned beef on top of the cheese. Place a tostada shell over the beef as the crunchy layer. Spread sour cream on top of the tostada and then add the shredded lettuce and tomato mixture.
Step 4: Fold and Toast
Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the filling in overlapping pleats working all the way around to seal the wrap. Place seam side down in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and sealed shut.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- ground beef → seasoned shredded chicken or black beans for alternative fillings
- nacho cheese sauce → homemade queso dip made with Velveeta and Rotel tomatoes
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using a tortilla that is too small which makes it impossible to fold the wrap properly without the filling spilling out
- Not toasting the wrap seam side down first which causes the Crunchwrap to open up and fall apart when flipped
