Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Large flour tortillas
-
Ground beef
-
Taco seasoning
-
Nacho cheese sauce or shredded cheddar cheese
-
Hard tostada shells or homemade baked tortillas for crunch
-
Sour cream
-
Shredded lettuce
-
Diced tomatoes
-
Sliced jalapeños (optional)
-
Cooking oil or spray
Directions
-
I cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart and seasoning it with taco seasoning according to the package or homemade mix instructions.
-
I warm the large flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
-
I place one tortilla on a flat surface and layer seasoned beef in the center.
-
I add a hard tostada shell on top of the beef for crunch.
-
I spread a layer of nacho cheese sauce or sprinkle shredded cheese over the tostada shell.
-
I add sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños if I want some heat.
-
I carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, pleating to enclose everything completely and form a circular wrap.
-
I heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and place the crunchwrap seam side down to seal it. I cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
-
I remove it from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Variations

Sauce swap: I spread guacamole or salsa instead of sour cream.

Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I warm the crunchwrap in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispiness, flipping until heated through. Microwave reheating is faster but can make the tortilla soft.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I assemble the crunchwraps and refrigerate them, then reheat in a skillet when ready to eat.
What’s the best way to fold the tortilla?
I fold the edges inwards like pleats around a package, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed to avoid leaks.
Can I freeze Crunchwraps?
I can freeze assembled but uncooked crunchwraps in a single layer, then cook them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
Can I use homemade taco seasoning?
Absolutely—I prefer homemade seasoning to control the spice and salt levels.
What side dishes go well with Crunchwraps?
I like serving them with Mexican rice, beans, guacamole, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion
Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme is my favorite homemade take on a fast-food classic. It’s crunchy, cheesy, and loaded with flavorful fillings that make it a fun, satisfying meal for any day of the week.
