Crunchwrap Supreme Ingredients
- Flour tortillas (6 large) – about 10-12 inches in diameter: The base that wraps everything together.
- Ground beef (1 pound): The main filling, perfectly seasoned. Or use ground chicken or ground turkey.
- Water (⅓ cup): Helps the taco seasoning coat the beef evenly.
- Taco seasoning (3 tablespoons): Adds classic Tex-Mex flavor.
- Nacho cheese sauce (½ cup) – store-bought or homemade Nacho Cheese: Melty, cheesy goodness that binds everything together.
- Tostadas (4): The secret crunch layer in every bite.
- Sour cream (⅔ cup): Adds cool creaminess that balances the spice.
- Iceberg lettuce (1 cup, shredded): Adds crunch and freshness.
- Tomatoes (1 cup, diced): Brightens the flavor and color.
- Mexican cheese (2 cups, shredded): Melts beautifully and holds the wrap together. Colby jack, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese also work.
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.)
Then, 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.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- WARM your tortillas before folding to keep them from cracking.
- USE TOSTADAS. They’re the secret to that signature texture and crunch.
- SEAL WITH CHEESE. Melted cheese helps keep the wrap together as it toasts.
- EASY TO CHANGE UP. Customize it with beans, chicken, or even spicy jalapeños for a twist.

Recipe FAQ
Yes! Assemble your crunchwrap supreme. Spray the outside of the wrap with a light coating of cooking spray. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook the Crunchwrap in batches. Air fry at around 380°F for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Flip it halfway to ensure even cooking.
