Ingredients
1 lb 80/20 ground beef
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 jalapeño, diced
1 cup nacho cheese sauce
1 cup sour cream
1.5 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 large burrito tortillas
4 small street taco tortillas or cut tortilla rounds
4 tostada shells
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
Cooking oil or butter for crisping
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and diced jalapeño. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until evenly coated.
- Lay a large burrito tortilla flat. Add a portion of the seasoned beef, followed by nacho cheese sauce and a tostada shell.
- Spread sour cream over the tostada shell, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded Mexican cheese blend.
- Place a small tortilla or tortilla round on top of the fillings.
- Fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, overlapping each section until fully sealed.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until crispy and heated through.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Substitute the ground beef with shredded chicken, ground turkey, or black beans.
Add rice, refried beans, avocado, hot sauce, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
Use spicy nacho cheese sauce or crushed red pepper for more heat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet for the best crispy texture.
Assemble a few hours ahead and refrigerate before cooking if needed.
