The Crunchwrap is a delicious fusion of crispy textures and savory fillings, creating a portable taco-inspired meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or a fun snack. The warm, golden tortilla cradles layers of seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, and melted cheese, offering an indulgent yet balanced flavor experience in every bite.
- Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb ground beef or chicken (or vegetarian option, such as black beans)
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 4 small tostada shells (or crispy tortilla chips as a substitute)
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer a spoonful of the seasoned meat, followed by a small tostada shell.
- Top with a generous amount of shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and salsa.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, making pleats as you go. Continue folding until the tortilla is sealed into a circular shape.
- Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Flip the crunchwrap and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and cut into halves or quarters. Serve with extra salsa or sour cream on the side.
