Crunchy and sturdy, providing that signature crisp texture in the middle.

Instructions

Ready to build your Crunchwrap masterpiece? Here’s how:

Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer until thickened and flavorful.

Assemble the Crunchwrap

Lay a large tortilla flat. In the center, spread a layer of seasoned beef. Top with a tostada shell, then add a dollop of sour cream over the shell. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the sour cream. Add a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Wrap It Up

Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, pleating as you go to create a neat, sealed package.

Grill to Perfection

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the wrapped crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side the same way. Press gently with a spatula for even crispness.

Serve and Enjoy

Slice in half if you like, and dig in while it’s warm and melty.
