How to Make Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 4 tostada shells
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce, warmed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion (optional)
- Cooking spray or a little oil for grilling
Directions:
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well-seasoned.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a microwave or skillet to make them soft and pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the seasoned beef into the center.
- Drizzle a few tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce over the beef.
- Place a tostada shell directly on top of the cheese layer.
- Spread sour cream over the tostada, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, onion (if using), and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla inward over the center in pleats, forming a sealed wrap.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the wrap seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and grill the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice in half and serve warm.
