A modern fast-food icon turned homemade masterpiece, the Crunchwrap Supreme is the ultimate handheld meal inspired by Mexican-American fusion. First made famous by Taco Bell, this wrap combines the crisp texture of a tostada shell with the comforting flavors of seasoned beef, melty cheese, and fresh toppings, all encased in a perfectly grilled flour tortilla. It’s an ideal option for game nights, casual family dinners, or a crowd-pleasing party dish. Pair it with creamy guacamole, spicy salsa roja, or a chilled citrus agua fresca for the full experience.

Ingredients (for 1 Crunchwrap Supreme)

  • 1 large (12-inch) flour tortilla

  • 1 small tostada shell (or substitute with a crunchy corn tortilla)

  • 1/4 cup ground beef

  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tbsp sour cream

  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce

  • 2 tbsp diced tomatoes

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

  1. Cook the Ground Beef
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook for about 5–6 minutes until fully browned. Stir occasionally and add a pinch of salt to taste. Remove from heat.

  2. Warm the Tortilla
    Briefly warm the large flour tortilla in a skillet for about 10 seconds on each side to make it more pliable for folding.

  3. Assemble the Layers
    Lay the tortilla flat on a cutting board or clean surface. In the center, add the cooked beef. Layer with nacho cheese sauce (if using), then place the tostada shell on top. Add a layer of sour cream, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  4. Fold the Crunchwrap
    Begin folding the edges of the flour tortilla over the center in a circular motion, forming pleats until fully wrapped. Press gently to seal.

  5. Grill the Crunchwrap
    Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded side down first and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until crisp.

  6. Serve
    Slice in half for presentation and serve warm on a flat dinner plate. Garnish with lime wedges and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, if desired.
