• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 cup shredded lettuce

Directions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and prepare according to the packet instructions.

5. Spread a layer of sour cream over the tostada shell.

7. Carefully fold the edges of the flour tortilla over the center, overlapping to seal the wrap.

9. Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

10. Serve hot and enjoy!

FAQs

What is a Crunchwrap Supreme?

A Crunchwrap Supreme is a popular menu item from Taco Bell featuring layers of meat, cheese, crispy tostada, and fresh toppings wrapped in a flour tortilla and grilled until crispy.

Can I make Crunchwraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare and assemble them in advance. Store in the fridge and grill them just before serving for the best texture.

What can I use instead of tostada shells?

You can use crunchy tortilla chips or even break hard taco shells into a round shape to mimic tostadas.

Can I freeze homemade Crunchwraps?

Yes, wrap them tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or skillet directly from frozen.

What type of cheese is best?

Cheddar cheese is classic, but you can use Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

Make sure your tortilla is large enough to fully enclose the filling and fold it tightly. Cooking seam-side down first helps it seal.

Use a cast iron skillet or griddle, and don’t overcrowd the pan. Press gently with a spatula while cooking to get an even crisp.
