Skip the takeout lines and make this copycat Taco Bell crunch wrap supreme with fresh ingredients and all the same flavors, but even better.

WHAT YOU NEED-

  • Tortillas– For this recipe you need 4 large 12-inch flour tortillas and 4 small taco flour tortillas. You can just cut 4 large tortillas into smaller ones to avoid buying both tortillas.
  • Tostadas– What makes this a crunch wrap is the crisp tostada inside! You can also use broken hard taco shells or even tortilla chips.
  • Nacho Cheese– Use your favorite store-bought or homemade nacho cheese sauce. I like using the Taco Bell or Tostitos brand of nacho cheese. LINK
  • Taco Meat– I love using my flavorful taco meat recipe for this recipe! All you need is ground beef, taco seasonings and salsa or ketchup.
  • Sour Cream– You can use sour cream or plain nonfat Greek yogurt for this recipe.
  • Lettuce– Either shredded iceberg lettuce or romaine can be used. You can even use store-bought pre-shredded lettuce.
  • Tomatoes– You can use regular tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or even cherry tomatoes.
  • Cheese– Any shredded cheese will work; I like to use the mixed Mexican blend of shredded cheese.
  • Dipping Sauce– Elevate your crunch wraps with a little homemade dipping sauce. All you need is sour cream, nacho cheese and some Cholula hot sauce.

HOW TO MAKE CRUNCH WRAPS

Making your favorite crispy, crunchy, and flavorful crunch wraps at home is easier than you think!

  1. Prepare all the ingredients so that once the taco meat is ready you can assemble the wraps.
  2. Cook the taco meat until browned and cooked through.
  3. Lay one large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add nacho cheese to the center and spread it into a circle about 6 inches wide.
  4. Spoon taco meat over the cheese sauce, then place one tostada shell on top.
  5. Spread sour cream over the tostada shell. Top with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
  6. Place a small tortilla on top of the filling. Starting at one edge, gently fold the large tortilla inward toward the center, working your way around until the filling is completely covered and sealed.
  7. Repeat with the remaining crunch wraps. (If you are not eating them right away, wait to assemble them to keep the tostada from getting soggy.)
  8. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with oil. Once hot, carefully place one assembled crunch wrap into the skillet with the folded side facing down first. (This helps seal the crunch wrap closed.)
  9. Cook for a couple minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining crunch wraps.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce.
  11. Cut the crunch wrap in half and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE:

Do I have to use ground beef?

No! You can totally swap for ground chicken or ground turkey.

How do I avoid my tortilla from ripping when folding the crunch wrap?

To avoid ripped tortillas, you want to warm the tortillas in the microwave for a couple seconds.

Can I add more stuff inside?

Yes! You can add jalapenos, onions, avocados, guacamole, or any other ingredients you prefer.

Can I make crunch wraps ahead of time?

For the best results, these wraps want to be assembled, cooked and eaten all at the same time. If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can prepare the taco meat and all the fresh toppings and when ready assemble.

How do I store leftover crunch wraps?

Once cooled, cover or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer. I prefer to reheat crunch wraps in the air fryer to get the crunchiness back.
