Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Small corn tostadas (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced (optional)
  • Pickled jalapeños or sliced fresh jalapeños
  • Optional extras: refried beans or black beans, guacamole or sliced avocado, chopped onions or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoned beef: Heat skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and break up with spatula. Cook 5-7 minutes until browned but not dry. Drain excess fat. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over beef. Pour in 1/4 cup water and stir. Simmer 2-3 minutes until water reduces and spices coat beef evenly.
  2. Assemble the Crunchwrap layers: Lay one large flour tortilla flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons sour cream and 2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce in the center. Add about 1/3 cup seasoned beef on top. Place a small corn tostada over the beef. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the tostada. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and jalapeños to taste.
  3. Fold the Crunchwrap: Carefully fold edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, pleating to form a sealed hexagon or circle. Warm tortilla briefly if needed to prevent tearing.
  4. Cook the Crunchwrap: Heat skillet over medium heat with a small drizzle of oil or cooking spray. Place Crunchwrap seam side down and cook 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook other side 3-4 minutes until cheese melts and tortilla is golden. Press lightly with spatula for extra crispness if desired.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Let rest for a minute before slicing in half to keep layers intact. Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, or fresh lime.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning tortillas. Warm tortillas before folding to prevent cracking. Do not overfill to keep Crunchwrap intact. Press gently during cooking for even crisping. Cook in batches and keep warm in a low oven if making multiple. Reheat leftovers in skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwave.
