Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

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

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

Flour tortillas: Large, soft tortillas that serve as the outer wrap, holding all the ingredients together.

Corn tostadas: Crispy, flat tortillas that add a delightful crunch to the wrap.

Shredded lettuce: Fresh and crisp, adding a cool contrast to the warm ingredients.

Diced tomatoes: Juicy and tangy, providing a burst of freshness in each bite.

Shredded cheese: Melty and gooey, adding a rich and creamy texture.

Sour cream: Smooth and tangy, balancing the flavors and adding a creamy element.

To achieve a perfectly crispy Crunchwrap Supreme, make sure to use a hot skillet and cook the wrap seam-side down first. This helps seal the edges and prevents the ingredients from spilling out. Additionally, lightly brushing the outside of the tortilla with a bit of oil before placing it in the skillet can enhance the golden-brown color and add an extra layer of crispiness.

• ground beef - Substitute with ground turkey: Ground turkey is a leaner option and can be seasoned similarly to achieve a comparable flavor.

• taco seasoning - Substitute with homemade spice mix: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano for a fresh and customizable seasoning.

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

• corn tostadas - Substitute with baked tortilla chips: Baked tortilla chips provide a similar crunch with less oil and fat.

• shredded lettuce - Substitute with shredded cabbage: Shredded cabbage adds a similar crunch and can withstand the heat better without wilting.

• diced tomatoes - Substitute with salsa: Salsa adds a similar fresh tomato flavor with an extra kick of spices and herbs.

• shredded cheese - Substitute with vegan cheese: Vegan cheese is a dairy-free alternative that melts similarly and can cater to dietary restrictions.

• sour cream - Substitute with Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt provides a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture with added protein and less fat.

• Allow the ground beef mixture to cool completely before storing. This helps maintain the texture and flavor of the Crunchwrap Supreme.

• Wrap each assembled Crunchwrap Supreme individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This prevents them from sticking together and makes it easy to grab one at a time.

• Place the wrapped Crunchwraps in an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. If using a freezer bag, squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.

• Label the container or bag with the date. This ensures you use the Crunchwraps within a reasonable time frame, typically up to 3 months for best quality.

• When ready to enjoy, unwrap the Crunchwrap and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a quicker option, microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, but note that the tortilla may not be as crispy.

• If you prefer a crispier texture, after microwaving, you can finish the Crunchwrap in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.

• For storing in the refrigerator, follow the same wrapping instructions and place the Crunchwraps in an airtight container. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
