Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 5 burrito size flour tortillas
  • 1 pound ground beef, cooked, drained, and seasoned if desired
  • ½ cup salsa con queso
  • 4 tostada shells
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Optional Toppings

  • Additional sour cream
  • Guacamole
  • Taco sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare tortilla quarters: Take one flour tortilla and carefully rip it into four quarters; these pieces will be used during assembly to help fold the wrap and add structure.
  2. Layer ground beef: Place a scoop of the cooked, seasoned ground beef in the center of a whole flour tortilla, leaving enough space around the edges for folding.
  3. Add salsa con queso: Drizzle about ½ cup of salsa con queso over the ground beef to add creamy, cheesy flavor.
  4. Spread sour cream on tostada shell: Evenly spread a dollop of sour cream on one side of the tostada shell, then place the shell on top of the beef and queso layer.
  5. Add fresh toppings: Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the tostada shell, layering fresh and melty textures.
  6. Place tortilla quarter: Lay one quarter piece of the torn tortilla over the layered toppings to help seal the filling inside when folded.
  7. Fold the wrap: Carefully fold the outer edges of the large tortilla inward, pleating the edges as needed to completely encase the filling without tearing.
  8. Cook the crunchwrap: Transfer the assembled wrap to a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and heated through.
  9. Repeat assembly: Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients to make a total of four crunchwraps.
  10. Serve with toppings: Serve hot with optional additional sour cream, guacamole, and taco sauce on the side for added flavor.
  11. Enjoy: Dig into your homemade Crunchwrap Supreme, enjoying the satisfying crunch and delicious layers of flavor.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overfill the tortilla to avoid tearing while folding.
  • Use medium-low heat to allow the tortilla to brown slowly without burning.
  • Season the ground beef with your favorite taco seasoning or create a simple blend with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with seasoned black beans or meat substitute.
  • To make assembly easier, warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
