Instructions
Ground Beef Filling Step 1
Heat a large skillet to medium heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to beef. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Take it off the heat and keep it aside.
Step 2: set up the components
Meanwhile, heat the nacho cheese sauce ( or melt the shredded cheese ) over low in a small saucepan. This will help the cheese to spread easily over the tortillas later.
How to Make Crunch Wraps:
Step 3 – Stack Them
Lay a flour tortilla on the workspace.
Place a portion of the cooked ground beef in a circular pattern about the same diameter as the tostada shell.
Now pour a layer of nacho cheese, or melted shredded cheese over the beef mixture and top with one tostada shell.
A dollop of sour cream, some shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and finally a little bit of cheddar.
Fold the large tortilla up and over the center in a pleated circular shape to enclose the wrap.
Step 4: Toast the Crunchwraps
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap in your skillet, seam side down.
Toast for 2-3 minutes, and once golden brown flip them to toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Spray skillet and place Crunchwrap on top for 2-3 minutes; flip, then cook another minute or two. Repeat with other Crunchwraps.ReNutriton: NA.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Carefully cut each Crunchwrap in half, serving them warm with dipping sauces or additional toppings: guacamole, hot sauce, salsa, etc.
