Prepare the Filling
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef (or vegan crumbles/beans). Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. If using beef, drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring until thickened, 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the Tortillas
Microwave tortillas between damp paper towels for 30 seconds each so they’re pliable—this prevents cracking when folding.
Build Your Crunchwrap
Lay a warmed 10-inch tortilla flat.
Spoon 2–3 tbsp seasoned beef (or beans).
Spread ~2 tbsp nacho cheese or sprinkle cheese blend on top.
Center a tostada or Doritos round over the meat.
Add a scoop of sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce, and diced tomato.
Top with another sprinkle of cheese to help seal.
Now comes the fold: lift edges of the large tortilla, folding them toward the center in pleats. Tuck the first fold to seal the center. Flip seam side down—it should resemble a thick, sealed disc.
Toast the Crunchwrap
Heat 1 tsp butter or oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Gently place the Crunchwrap seam-side down. Cook ~2–3 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook the other side to the same crispiness. Repeat for all.
Slice and Serve
Let rest 1 minute, slice with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, and serve! Optional: accompany with salsa or dipping sauce.

FAQs
1. What type of meat should I use — breast, thigh, ground, or steak?
For ease and that classic taste, ground beef or turkey is ideal. You can stir in finely chopped cooked breast or thigh meat, but it’s harder to fold. For varieties like Cheeseburger Crunch Wrap, ground meat works best.
2. Can I make a Keto Crunchwrap Supreme with this recipe?
Absolutely. Use low-carb or keto tortillas, swap corn tortillas for cheese shells, use full-fat cheese and skip extra starches. You can also replace tostadas with crispy cheese discs.
3. How do I make a Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme at home?
This guide is a Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme, replicating the layers, flavors, and signature folding. Follow steps but swap fillings to mimic the official version—like sour cream, guac, beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crunchy shell.
4. What if I want to make it vegan or vegetarian?
Use black beans, lentil taco filling, or plant-based meat crumbles seasoned with the same spices. Use vegan cheese, sour cream, and ensure tortillas are dairy-free. You get a flavorful, irresistibly cheesy Vegan or Vegetarian Crunch Wrap Supreme.
5. Can I prep these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble all 6 wraps, loosely covered in foil, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Toast or grill just before serving. You can also freeze ungrilled wraps—thaw overnight and then crisp up on skillet or oven.
