Equipment
- Skillet
- Large Cutting Board
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla big enough to fold over everything, potentially 'burrito size'
- 0.5 lb ground beef or turkey Your choice!
- 0.5 packet taco seasoning Follow package directions for water
- 0.5 cup nacho cheese sauce Use your favorite jarred or canned variety
- 0.5 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
- 4 small tostada shells You only need one per wrap, quantity is often how they are sold
- cooking oil for frying, just a little bit
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning following package directions for water amount; simmer until sauce thickens. Set meat aside.
- Step 2: Lay the large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer the warm nacho cheese sauce.
- Step 3: Spoon seasoned meat over the cheese. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese.
- Step 4: Gently place one small tostada shell directly on top of the fillings in the center.
- Step 5: Fold the edges of the large tortilla towards the center, creating pleats, until the filling is enclosed and you have a hexagonal shape. Press down gently.
- Step 6: Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the folded crunchwrap into the hot skillet, seam-side down first.
- Step 7: Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, using a spatula to flip, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from skillet.
- Step 8: Slice in half (diagonal is traditional) and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe is highly customizable; swap meat for beans, cheese for different varieties, or add extra veggies like onions or jalapeños. Ensure your large tortilla is big enough to fold without tearing. Cook seam-side down first to seal the wrap. Best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers for 1-2 days in the fridge and reheat in a skillet or air fryer for best results.
