Ingredients:
For the Beef Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¾ cup water
For the Crunch Wrap Assembly:
- 6 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 6 tostada shells
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced jalapeños
- Guacamole
- Hot sauce
Directions:
- Begin your culinary adventure by preparing the beef filling. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook the meat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's beautifully browned and no pink remains.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet to ensure a clean, concentrated flavor. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, letting the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken and coat the meat with incredible Tex-Mex flavor.
- While the beef cooks, warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This crucial step makes the tortillas pliable and prevents them from cracking during wrapping.
- Now comes the fun part – assembly! Lay a warm flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of nacho cheese sauce right in the center of the tortilla.
- Top the cheese sauce with a hearty scoop of the seasoned beef mixture. Place a crispy tostada shell directly on top of the beef. This is the secret to that signature crunch!
- Create additional layers by spreading sour cream over the tostada shell. Sprinkle shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and Mexican cheese blend on top. Feel free to add optional toppings like jalapeños or guacamole.
- To wrap, carefully fold the edges of the flour tortilla up and over the center. Work your way around, creating pleats that completely enclose the filling. If there's a small gap, you can patch it with a piece of another tortilla.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Place the folded side of the crunch wrap down in the skillet.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bottom turns a beautiful golden brown and becomes delightfully crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
