Ingredients
PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes
- 6 large flour tortillas – about 10-12 inches in diameter
- 1 pound lean ground beef – or use ground chicken or ground turkey
- ⅓ cup water
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning – Each 1-ounce packet contains 3 tablespoons
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce – store-bought or homemade Nacho Cheese
- 4 tostada shells
- ⅔ cup sour cream – or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded

How to Make Crunchwrap Supreme
- MEAT. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 pound ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Add ⅓ cup of water and 3 tablespoons taco seasoning to the skillet stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
- TORTILLAS. While meat is cooking, cut 2 flour tortillas in half and use kitchen scissors to cut as big of a circle as possible from each halved tortilla to make 4 circles.
- ASSEMBLE. Before assembling each wrap, place 1 tortilla in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. (Microwave each tortilla individually right before you assemble the wrap so the tortilla won’t cool and crack when you wrap it.)
- Add ½ cup ground beef mixture to the center of each tortilla. Add 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce, followed by 1 crispy tostada shell, 2½ tablespoons sour cream, ¼ cup shredded lettuce, ¼ cup diced tomato, and ½ cup shredded cheese.
- Add a small tortilla circle on top and fold the bottom tortilla around the top, creating a hexagon shape. Spray each side of the wrap with cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- One wrap at a time, add the folded tortilla seam side down, to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
