Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 6 tostada shells
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded lettuce
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) diced tomatoes
- Cooking spray or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Transform ground beef into a flavor-packed base by searing in a skillet over medium heat, methodically crumbling the meat until it reaches a rich, even brown coloration.
- Infuse the meat with zesty taco seasoning, stirring thoroughly to create a harmonious blend that absorbs liquid and develops a robust, thick consistency.
- Gently warm flour tortillas to enhance their flexibility, ensuring they can easily wrap around the upcoming ingredients without cracking.
- Construct the foundation by positioning a crisp tostada shell at the tortilla’s center, creating a crucial textural platform for subsequent layers.
- Layer strategic components: spread a generous swirl of nacho cheese sauce, cascade the seasoned beef, sprinkle crisp lettuce, distribute vibrant tomato chunks, scatter sharp cheddar cheese, and crown with a creamy sour cream dollop.
- Masterfully pleat the tortilla’s edges upward, meticulously folding and overlapping to create a secure hexagonal pouch that encapsulates all ingredients.
- Activate a skillet with light oil, carefully place the wrapped creation folded-side downward, allowing it to transform into a golden-brown delicacy through precise two-to-three-minute intervals on each side.
- Present immediately, accompanied by optional complementary condiments like salsa, guacamole, or additional sour cream for enhanced dining pleasure.
Notes
- Ensure ground beef is fully cooked and drained to prevent excess grease and soggy wraps.
- Use fresh, high-quality taco seasoning for maximum flavor and authentic taste.
- Warm tortillas gently to prevent cracking and make folding easier.
- For a crispy texture, press down firmly when cooking the Crunch Wrap to seal edges completely.
- Customize with alternative proteins like shredded chicken, black beans, or plant-based crumbles for dietary preferences.
- Add extra spice with jalapeños or hot sauce for heat lovers.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline the assembly process and reduce cooking time.
