Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board
  • knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • mixing spoon
  • Plate or flat surface (for assembling the crunchwraps)

Ingredients

Beef Filling

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup water

Crunchwrap Assembly

  • 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas about 10–12 inches
  • 4 small flour tortillas street taco size, about 4–5 inches – used to seal the top of the crunchwrap
  • 4 corn tostada shells for the signature crunch layer
  • ½ cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

Cook the Beef

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.
  • Add the taco seasoning and water, then simmer for about 5 minutes until thick and flavorful.

Start the Crunchwrap Layers

  • Place a large tortilla flat on a plate or cutting board.
  • Add layers in this order:
  • ¼ of the seasoned beef
  • Drizzle of nacho cheese
  • 1 tostada shell
  • Sour cream
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Shredded cheese

Seal the Wrap

  • Place a small tortilla on top of the fillings.
  • Fold the edges of the large tortilla inward in sections to create a hexagon-style wrap.

Toast the Crunchwrap

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Place the crunchwrap folded side down first and cook for 2–3 minutes, until golden and sealed.
  • Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until crispy.

Serve

  • Slice in half and serve immediately.
  • Perfect with:
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Extra nacho cheese
  • Taco sauce

Notes

  • Use burrito-size flour tortillas. Large 10–12 inch tortillas make folding the Crunchwrap Supreme much easier and help seal all the layers inside.
  • Small flour tortillas work best for sealing. A small street-taco size flour tortilla (4–5 inches) helps cover the center so the crunchwrap folds neatly without tearing.
  • Don’t skip the tostada shell. The corn tostada shell creates the signature crunchy layer that makes a homemade Crunchwrap Supreme recipe taste just like the Taco Bell version.
  • Toast seam-side down first. Placing the folded side down in the skillet helps seal the tortilla and keeps your homemade crunchwrap supreme from opening while cooking.
  • Use medium heat for crisping. Cooking over medium heat allows the tortilla to become golden, crispy, and perfectly toasted without burning.
  • Customize your crunchwrap. You can easily turn this into a chicken crunchwrap supreme, spicy crunchwrap, or vegetarian crunchwrap by swapping the filling with seasoned chicken, jalapeños, or black beans.
  • Air fryer option. For an extra crispy tortilla, cook the assembled copycat crunchwrap supreme in an air fryer at 375°F for 5–6 minutes.
  • Make ahead tip. Prepare the seasoned beef and toppings ahead of time so assembling your easy homemade crunchwrap supreme recipe takes just minutes.
