- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- ⅔ cup water
- 6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 6 small (6-inch) corn tostada shells
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded lettuce

Directions: How to Make Homemade Crunch Wrap Supreme Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water, stirring well. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
- Wrap the flour tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds, or warm individually in a skillet. This makes them flexible for folding.
Step 3: Assemble the Crunch Wraps
- Lay a flour tortilla flat. In the center, spread 2-3 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce.
- Add about ¼ cup seasoned beef, then top with a tostada shell.
- Spread 2 tablespoons sour cream over the tostada shell, then add lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheddar.
- Optional: Add pickled jalapeños, olives, or onions.
- To fold, start at the bottom edge, folding the tortilla toward the center, working your way around to create pleats, forming a sealed hexagon.
Step 4: Cook the Homemade Crunch Wrap Supreme
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a teaspoon of oil.
- Place the crunch wrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and sealed.
- Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until crispy.
- Repeat with remaining wraps. Serve hot!

Homemade Crunch Wrap Supreme Recipe FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep the beef and toppings in advance, but assemble and cook just before serving for the best crunch.
What can I use instead of tostada shells?
Try layering a few crumbled tortilla chips for a similar crunchy texture if tostada shells aren't available.
How do I keep my homemade crunch wrap from falling apart?
Be sure to fold tightly, keep fillings centered, and cook seam-side down first to seal everything in place.
