This homemade version of the beloved Taco Bell classic is packed with all the flavors and textures you love, wrapped up in a crispy tortilla shell. Let’s dive into how to make this crowd-pleasing favorite!
THE INGREDIENTS LIST:
1 lb ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternative)
1 packet (1.25 oz) taco seasoning mix
6 large flour tortillas
6 tostada shells (or use baked tortilla chips for a homemade alternative)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Optional additional toppings: sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, salsa
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef (or alternative) to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the meat is browned, add the taco seasoning mix and water according to the instructions on the packet. Stir well to combine, then simmer for a few minutes until the mixture is thickened and flavorful. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble each Crunchwrap Supreme, start by placing a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer a tostada shell (or a handful of baked tortilla chips) to create a stable base.
- Spoon a portion of the seasoned ground beef onto the tostada shell, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, diced onion, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
- Carefully fold the edges of the flour tortilla up and over the filling, creating pleats as needed to enclose the ingredients and form a hexagonal shape.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled Crunchwrap Supreme seam-side down onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the Crunchwrap Supreme from the skillet and repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining ingredients to make additional Crunchwraps.
- Once all the Crunchwraps are cooked, slice each one in half and serve immediately with your favorite additional toppings, such as sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, or salsa.
- Enjoy the homemade Crunchwrap Supreme while it’s hot and crispy, reveling in the perfect combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
