Ingredients
For the Beef Filling
- 450 g ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon oil, if needed
For Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 small flour tortillas, or extra pieces cut from another tortilla
- 4 tostada shells
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
- Cooking spray or a little oil for toasting
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Drain any excess grease if needed.
Step 2: Season the Beef
Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir well and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes, until the beef is coated in a flavorful taco sauce.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the large flour tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave or in a dry skillet. This makes them softer and easier to fold without tearing.
Step 4: Build the Crunchwrap
Place one large tortilla on a flat surface.
Add a scoop of seasoned beef to the center. Spoon warm nacho cheese sauce over the beef.
Place one tostada shell on top of the beef and cheese layer.
Spread sour cream over the tostada shell, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese if using.
Step 5: Fold the Crunchwrap
Place a small flour tortilla or a cut tortilla piece over the toppings to help cover the center.
Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the center, working around in sections until the wrap is fully closed.
Step 6: Toast Until Crispy
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and sealed.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, until crisp and lightly browned.
Step 7: Serve
Remove from the skillet, let it rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Crunchwrap
Do not overfill the tortilla, or it may be difficult to fold. Warming the tortilla first helps prevent cracking. Always cook the seam-side down first so the crunchwrap seals properly.
For extra flavor, add jalapeños, hot sauce, refried beans, avocado, or a drizzle of taco sauce before folding.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these homemade crunchwraps with French fries, tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, queso dip, or Mexican rice. They are also delicious with a side of sour cream or spicy ranch for dipping.
Storage and Reheating
Crunchwraps are best served fresh while the tostada shell is still crispy.
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer until warm and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the outside crunchy.
