Ingredients:

¾ pound ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil

4-5 Large Flour Tortillas

4-5 Small Flour Tortillas

4-5 Corn Tostada Shells

1 cup queso

½ cup sour cream

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup tomatoes, diced

How to Make Taco Bell Crunchwrap

In a saucepan, cook the ground beef over medium high heat until browned with half of the taco seasoning and all of the pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.

Drain the ground beef of the excess oil and add the rest of the taco seasoning, stirring together.
Set aside the cooked ground beef and prepare a station with the crunch wrap fillings.
In another saucepan, add the olive oil and start heating to medium heat while preparing the crunchwraps.

Lay down the large tortilla on a clean flat surface.

Fill the center with ground beef, about the size of the tostada shell

Add about 2 heaping tablespoons of queso on top of the ground beef.

Lay the tostada shell over the ground beef and cheese.

Spread a thin layer of sour cream on top of the tostada shell.

Add ¼ cup of shredded lettuce and then ¼ cup of diced tomatoes on top.

Place the small flour tortilla on top of everything.

Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling and onto the top smaller tortilla. You will need to continually hold the edges as you go around in a circle and folder everything together.

Then you will pick up the crunchwrap and place it in the heated pan, folded side down.

Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on each side.

Remove from the pan and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

Tortilla Folding: Make sure your tortillas are large enough to fully wrap around the filling. If you’re having trouble folding, warm the tortilla slightly to make it more pliable.
Tostada Crunch: Keep the tostada shells fresh by storing them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them.
Cheese Melting: Warm the queso slightly before assembling to ensure it spreads easily over the ground beef.
Golden Perfection: Cook the Crunchwrap seam-side down first to seal it and ensure the edges stay intact.
Spice it Up: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of cayenne for an extra kick.

FAQs

It’s best to assemble and cook Crunchwraps fresh, as the tostada shell can lose its crunch when stored. However, you can prep the fillings ahead of time to save on assembly.

Reheat Crunchwraps in a skillet over medium heat or in an air fryer to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the tortillas soggy.

Absolutely! Swap the ground beef for seasoned black beans, refried beans, or a plant-based ground meat substitute.

Use large, burrito-sized flour tortillas for the base and smaller taco-sized tortillas to cap off the filling. Warm them slightly for easier folding.

Yes! Assemble the Crunchwraps but don’t cook them. Wrap each one tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to eat, thaw and cook as directed.
