Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

Ground beef: Provides the hearty, savory base for the wrap.

Taco seasoning: Adds a burst of Mexican-inspired flavor to the beef.

Flour tortillas: Large ones are needed to wrap all the delicious fillings.

Corn tostadas: Adds a crunchy layer in the middle of the wrap.

Lettuce: Fresh and crisp, it adds a nice contrast to the warm fillings.

Tomatoes: Diced for a juicy, tangy element.

Shredded cheese: Melts beautifully, adding a creamy texture.

Sour cream: Adds a cool, tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients.

To ensure your tortilla stays sealed and doesn't unravel, make sure to warm it slightly before folding. This makes the tortilla more pliable and easier to work with, allowing you to create tighter pleats. Additionally, when placing the wrap seam-side down in the skillet, press gently with a spatula to help it hold its shape and achieve a crisp, golden-brown exterior.

• ground beef - Substitute with ground turkey: Ground turkey is a leaner option and can be seasoned similarly to mimic the flavor of ground beef.

• taco seasoning - Substitute with homemade spice mix: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to create a similar flavor profile.

• large flour tortillas - Substitute with whole wheat tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas offer more fiber and nutrients while maintaining a similar texture and taste.

• small corn tostadas - Substitute with baked tortilla chips: Baked tortilla chips provide a similar crunch and can be a healthier alternative.

• shredded lettuce - Substitute with shredded cabbage: Shredded cabbage adds a similar crunch and can hold up better to the other ingredients.

• diced tomatoes - Substitute with salsa: Salsa can add a similar fresh tomato flavor with added spices and herbs.

• shredded cheese - Substitute with vegan cheese: Vegan cheese can be used for a dairy-free option while still providing a cheesy flavor.

• sour cream - Substitute with Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt offers a similar creamy texture with added protein and less fat.

• Allow the ground beef to cool completely before storing to prevent condensation, which can make the tortillas soggy.
• Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to maintain freshness and prevent them from sticking together.
• Place the wrapped Crunchwraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to keep them from absorbing any unwanted odors from the refrigerator.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or use a microwave for a quicker option.
• For freezing, wrap each Crunchwrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped Crunchwraps in a freezer-safe bag or container, making sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing.
• Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness. Frozen Crunchwraps can be stored for up to 2 months.
• To reheat from frozen, unwrap the Crunchwrap and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until heated thoroughly.
• Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over medium heat, covered, for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even heating.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme in aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. Place them on a baking sheet and heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.

• For a quicker method, use a skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat and place the Crunchwrap Supreme seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the exterior is crispy and the interior is heated through.

• If you prefer using a microwave, place the Crunchwrap Supreme on a microwave-safe plate. Cover it with a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Heat on high for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even heating.

• To maintain the crunchiness of the tostada inside, consider using an air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the Crunchwrap Supreme in the basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.

• If you have a toaster oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on the rack or a baking sheet and heat for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy on the outside.
