Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

Ground beef: The main protein component, providing a savory and hearty base.

Taco seasoning: A blend of spices that adds a classic Mexican flavor to the beef.

Flour tortillas: Large and soft, they form the outer wrap of the crunchwrap.

Corn tortillas: Smaller and crispy, they add a crunchy layer inside the wrap.

Shredded lettuce: Adds a fresh and crisp texture to the wrap.

Diced tomatoes: Provides a juicy and tangy element.

Shredded cheese: Melts beautifully to add a creamy texture.

Sour cream: Adds a tangy and creamy layer.

Nacho cheese sauce: A rich and gooey cheese layer that enhances the flavor.

To ensure your crunchwrap holds together well and doesn't fall apart during cooking, make sure to warm the flour tortillas just enough to make them pliable but not too hot that they tear. When folding the tortilla into a hexagon shape, press down gently but firmly to seal the edges. Additionally, when placing the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet, use a spatula to press it down slightly to help it hold its shape and get a nice, even golden brown crust.

• ground beef - Substitute with ground turkey: Ground turkey is a leaner option and provides a similar texture and flavor when seasoned properly.

• taco seasoning - Substitute with homemade spice mix: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to control the salt and spice levels.

• flour tortillas - Substitute with whole wheat tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas offer more fiber and nutrients while maintaining a similar texture.

• corn tortillas - Substitute with crispy tostada shells: Tostada shells provide the same crunch and are readily available in most stores.

• shredded lettuce - Substitute with shredded cabbage: Shredded cabbage adds a similar crunch and can hold up better to the other ingredients without wilting.

• diced tomatoes - Substitute with salsa: Salsa adds a bit more flavor and moisture, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

• shredded cheese - Substitute with vegan cheese: For a dairy-free option, vegan cheese melts similarly and provides a comparable flavor.

• sour cream - Substitute with Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative with a similar tangy taste and creamy texture.

• nacho cheese sauce - Substitute with queso blanco: Queso blanco offers a similar creamy texture and cheesy flavor, often with fewer preservatives.

• Allow the ground beef mixture to cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
• Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to maintain freshness and prevent them from sticking together.
• Place the wrapped Crunchwraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to keep them from absorbing any unwanted odors from the fridge or freezer.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place the wrapped Crunchwraps in the freezer.
• When freezing, label each package with the date to keep track of their freshness.
• To reheat from the refrigerator, unwrap the Crunchwrap and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through.
• For a crispier texture, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
• To reheat from frozen, thaw the Crunchwrap in the refrigerator overnight. Then follow the same reheating instructions as for refrigerated Crunchwraps.
• For a quicker option, you can reheat directly from frozen by microwaving on a defrost setting for a few minutes, then switching to regular heat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• If using an oven to reheat from frozen, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and crispy.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme individually in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out.
  3. Place the wrapped Crunchwraps on a baking sheet.
  4. Heat in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed.
  5. For a crispier exterior, unwrap the foil for the last 5 minutes of heating.

• Skillet Method:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme seam-side down in the skillet.
  3. Cover the skillet with a lid to help retain moisture and heat evenly.
  4. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the Crunchwrap is heated through and the exterior is crispy.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out.
  3. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even heating.
  4. If needed, microwave in additional 30-second intervals until thoroughly warmed.

• Air Fryer Method:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  3. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the Crunchwrap is crispy and heated through.

• Toaster Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on the toaster oven tray.
  3. Heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed.
  4. For extra crispiness, you can toast for an additional 2-3 minutes.

• Skillet: Used to cook the ground beef and later to brown the assembled crunchwraps.

• Microwave: Utilized to warm the flour tortillas, making them pliable for folding.

• Spatula: Handy for stirring and breaking up the ground beef while it cooks.

• Measuring cup: Essential for measuring out the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and nacho cheese sauce.

• Knife: Necessary for dicing the tomatoes and shredding the lettuce if not pre-shredded.

• Cutting board: Provides a safe surface for chopping and dicing vegetables.

• Large spoon: Useful for scooping the seasoned beef and spreading the nacho cheese sauce and sour cream.

• Plate: Serves as a flat surface to assemble the crunchwraps.

• Tongs: Helpful for flipping the crunchwraps in the skillet to ensure even browning.

• Paper towels: Used to drain excess fat from the cooked ground beef.

Prepare the filling: Cook the ground beef and mix with taco seasoning ahead of time. Store it in the fridge until ready to use.

Pre-chop vegetables: Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce in advance. Keep them in separate containers for easy assembly.

Use pre-shredded cheese: Save time by buying shredded cheese instead of shredding it yourself.

Microwave tortillas together: Warm all the flour tortillas at once in the microwave to make them pliable, rather than one at a time.

Assembly line: Set up an assembly line with all ingredients to streamline the process of building each crunchwrap.
