Ingredients

Scale

Protein Filling

  • 1 lb lean ground beef, turkey, or plant-based crumbles
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco spice blend)
  • 1/4 cup water

Wrap Components

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 6 tostada shells or crunchy taco shells
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded fresh lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes

Cooking Essentials

  • 12 tbsp olive oil or butter for pan-searing

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Fresh avocado slices
  • Salsa or hot sauce
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Jalapeños or chipotle seasoning for spice
  • Substitute black beans, lentils, or shredded rotisserie chicken as protein
  • Alternative cheeses like queso fresco, pepper jack, or sharp white cheddar
  • Low-carb tortillas and leafy greens instead of tostada shells for low-carb version

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water to evenly coat the meat. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
  2. Warm the Tortillas and Tostada Shells: Gently warm the large flour tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave until flexible for easy folding. Briefly heat tostada shells or crunchy taco shells to enhance their crispness without burning.
  3. Assemble Your Crunch Wrap: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer the cooked meat, then add a tostada shell for crunch. Top with a generous handful of shredded cheese, dollop sour cream, then sprinkle shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes evenly over the top.
  4. Fold the Wrap Carefully: Starting from the bottom edge, fold one side of the tortilla edge toward the center. Repeat folding each side until all edges meet in the middle, creating a sealed hexagonal shape. Tuck and pinch to secure the shape so ingredients stay inside while cooking.
  5. Cook the Crunch Wrap for Golden Crispiness: Heat a skillet with a little oil or butter over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam side down, cooking 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid spills. Once crisped evenly, remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing in half.

Notes

  • Use room temperature tortillas to make folding easier and prevent tearing.
  • Don’t overfill the wrap to ensure it folds and cooks evenly.
  • Place cheese close to the tostada shell to help hold it together when melted.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla while heating the inside through.
  • Try mini versions using smaller tortillas for fun bite-sized appetizers.
