Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor and fat balance)
- 2 tbsp homemade or store-bought taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder blend)
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 tostada shells
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoned Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water. Simmer until the mixture thickens and flavors meld.
- Warm Your Tortillas and Tostadas: Gently warm flour tortillas until pliable to prevent cracking during folding. Toast tostada shells lightly in the oven or a dry skillet to enhance crunchiness.
- Layer the Crunchwrap Components: On each warmed tortilla, spread a thin layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center. Add a scoop of seasoned beef, then place a toasted tostada shell over the beef. Spread sour cream evenly atop the tostada, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold and Seal the Crunchwrap: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up around the fillings in sections to form a sealed hexagonal shape, ensuring the tostada stays centered and intact.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, pressing gently with a spatula to seal edges.
Notes
- Use fresh lettuce and tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overfill the wrap to prevent bursting during folding and cooking.
- Warm tortillas thoroughly to avoid cracking when folding.
- Press the Crunchwrap gently while cooking for an even seal and a crisp crust.
- Making your own taco seasoning allows better control over spice level and sodium content.
