Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 2/3 cup water
• 6 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 6 tostada shells
• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1½ cups shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• Nonstick cooking spray or a little oil for pan

Directions

Step 1: Cook the Seasoned Beef

1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5–7 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Warm Ingredients

1. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable and easier to fold.
2. Gently warm the nacho cheese sauce to ensure smooth spreading.

Step 3: Assemble the Crunchwrap

1. Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean surface.
2. In the center, layer the following ingredients in this order:
   • 1/6 of the seasoned beef
   • 2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce
   • 1 tostada shell
   • 1 tablespoon sour cream
   • Shredded lettuce
   • Diced tomato
   • A mix of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses
3. Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, creating pleats to form a hexagon shape. Press gently to seal. If needed, use a small piece of extra tortilla to patch any gaps and ensure the wrap is fully closed.

Step 4: Cook the Crunchwrap

1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
2. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down on the skillet. Press down gently with a spatula and cook for 2–3 minutes per side , or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve

1. Slice the Crunchwrap in half and serve hot. Add extra sour cream or salsa on the side for dipping, if desired.

Tips for Success

• Cheese Sauce Hack: If you don’t have nacho cheese sauce, you can make your own by melting shredded cheese with a splash of milk or cream.
• Tostada Swap: Use Doritos or thin tortilla chips as a crunchy layer substitute for added flavor.
• Customizations: Add jalapeños, guacamole, or pico de gallo for extra flair.
• Storage: Store assembled but uncooked Crunchwraps in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Cook directly from chilled, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
