Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (1-ounce) package of taco seasoning
- 4 large (burrito-sized) tortillas
- 3/4 cup nacho cheese sauce (warmed)
- 4 tostada shells
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup taco sauce
- 4 small (taco-sized) tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions, adding water as required. Set the beef mixture aside.
- Warm the nacho cheese sauce in a separate pan or microwave.
- Place the large tortillas flat on a clean surface. In the center of each, layer a few spoonfuls of the seasoned beef, followed by a drizzle of warm nacho cheese sauce.
- Place a tostada shell on top of the cheese sauce, then spread a layer of sour cream on the tostada. Add shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, taco sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sour cream.
- Top each large tortilla with a small (taco-sized) tortilla, then carefully fold the edges of the large tortilla over the smaller one, creating a hexagon-shaped wrap. Make sure the edges are tightly folded to hold the filling in place.
- Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each crunch wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to press down gently to ensure even browning.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving. Slice in half and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add extra toppings like jalapeños, olives, or guacamole for more flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, use black beans or refried beans instead of the ground beef.
- For a crispier crunch, use more oil and cook the wraps longer on each side.
