  1. Prepare the Meat:
    In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef (or chosen protein) and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon or spatula. Drain any excess grease, if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, then add a little water (around 1/4 cup) to create a saucy mixture. Let the meat simmer for 5-7 minutes until it’s well-coated and flavorful. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas:
    Lay the large 12-inch flour tortilla on a clean surface. This will be the base of your Crunchwrap. Take one of the smaller 8-inch tortillas and place it in the center of the large tortilla. You may need to trim the smaller tortilla to fit, but it should be centered so that it doesn’t overlap too much.
  3. Assemble the Crunchwrap:
    Start layering the ingredients in the following order:
  • Meat mixture: Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned meat onto the center of the small tortilla.
  • Tostada shell: Place a crunchy tostada shell (or broken taco shells) on top of the meat to add crunch.
  • Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tostada shell.
  • Sour cream: Spread a thin layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt over the cheese.
  • Lettuce: Add a handful of shredded lettuce for some freshness and crunch.
  • Tomatoes: Add some diced tomatoes for a juicy bite.
  • Olives: (Optional) Add sliced olives or any other toppings you prefer.
  1. Fold the Crunchwrap:
    Carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling to form pleats, making sure to tuck the edges as you go. You should have a hexagonal or circular shape. The goal is to encase all of the fillings inside, but leave the top open so it can crisp up.
  2. Cook the Crunchwraps:
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray. Place the folded Crunchwrap seam-side down on the skillet. Press gently with a spatula to help it hold its shape while it cooks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. If needed, press it down with the spatula to ensure an even crisp. Repeat with the remaining Crunchwraps.
  3. Serve and Enjoy:
    Once all the Crunchwraps are cooked, cut them in half (or serve whole) and enjoy! Serve with extra salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauces on the side.

Tips for the Perfect Crunchwrap Supreme

  • Tortilla Size: Use large flour tortillas for the base and smaller ones for the center. The small tortillas are key for creating the perfect fold. You can also use smaller tortillas for a lighter, individual-sized version.
  • Make It Spicy: Add jalapeñoshot sauce, or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meat mixture if you like some heat.
  • Vegetarian Version: Replace the ground beef with a black bean mixturerefried beans, or grilled vegetables for a vegetarian or vegan version.
  • Add Extra Crunch: If you love crunch, try adding crushed tortilla chips inside the Crunchwrap, along with the tostada shell, for an extra layer of texture.
  • Make-Ahead: You can prepare the filling and assemble the Crunchwraps ahead of time, storing them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them. This makes for an easy meal prep option!
  • Customization: The beauty of Crunchwrap Supreme is that it’s incredibly customizable. Add avocado, switch up the cheese, or throw in some bell peppers, onions, or corn. Make it your own!
