Ingredients in Breakfast Crunchwrap

Let’s talk layers. Here’s what makes up the magic inside:

Large Flour Tortillas

These need to be big enough to fold over the filling—burrito-size is perfect.

Eggs

Scrambled soft and fluffy. They’re the heart of the wrap and keep it rich and satisfying.

Hash Browns

Crispy, golden, and totally necessary for texture. You can use frozen hash brown patties or shredded style.

Breakfast Meat (Bacon or Sausage)

Crispy bacon, savory sausage, or even both if you’re feeling wild.

Shredded Cheese

Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend—anything melty and delicious works here.

Tostada Shell

This is what gives the Crunchwrap its signature crunch. You can also use a small crunchy corn tortilla.

Sour Cream or Sauce (Optional)

A little layer of sour cream, chipotle mayo, or hot sauce can totally elevate things.

Salt and Pepper

Just a pinch for seasoning the eggs and meat.

(Note: the full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

Instructions

Let’s build your new favorite breakfast:

Step 1: Cook Your Fillings

Start by cooking the bacon or sausage in a skillet until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2: Crisp Up the Hash Browns

Whether you’re using patties or shreds, cook them until golden and crispy. This adds major texture to the wrap.

Step 3: Warm the Tortilla

Pop your large flour tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable and easy to fold.

Step 4: Layer It Up

In the center of the tortilla, add scrambled eggs, meat, cheese, and hash browns. Place the tostada shell on top. If using sour cream or sauce, spread it on the tostada. Add a little more cheese on top to act as a “glue” when it melts.

Step 5: Fold the Crunchwrap

Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the center, working around in a circle to form a tight wrap. You should end up with a hexagon shape. If your tortilla doesn’t close all the way, you can place a small piece of another tortilla over the center before folding.

Step 6: Toast It

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes, pressing down gently. Flip and cook the other side until golden and crispy.

Step 7: Serve

Slice in half and serve warm with salsa, avocado, or extra hot sauce on the side.

How to Serve Breakfast Crunchwrap

You don’t need anything else, but here are some fun pairings:

With Salsa or Hot Sauce: A little drizzle of your favorite hot sauce or a side of salsa for dipping takes it up a notch.

Add Fresh Fruit: A light fruit salad balances the savory flavors with a pop of freshness.

With Coffee or a Smoothie: Whether you need caffeine or a nutrient boost, either makes a great sidekick.

For Brunch Guests: Cut them into halves or quarters and serve with mimosa pitchers—your friends will freak out in the best way.

Additional Tips

Make-Ahead Friendly: You can assemble these and wrap them in foil or plastic wrap to store in the fridge. Just toast them fresh when you’re ready to eat.

Use a Panini Press: For an even, golden toast without flipping, press it in a panini maker.

Double Tortilla Trick: If your filling is thick or your tortilla rips, use a second tortilla layer underneath to support it.

Add Veggies: Spinach, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms all work beautifully here.

Spice It Up: A few jalapeño slices or a dash of cayenne in the eggs give it a spicy kick.
