Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

Ground beef: The main protein, providing a savory and hearty base.

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

Flour tortillas: Large, soft tortillas that wrap around all the fillings.

Corn tortillas: Smaller, crispy tortillas that add a crunchy layer.

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

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

Shredded cheese: Melts beautifully, adding a creamy texture.

Sour cream: Adds a tangy, creamy element to balance the flavors.

Nacho cheese sauce: Rich and cheesy, it ties all the ingredients together.

To ensure your crunchwrap holds together well, make sure to warm the flour tortillas thoroughly before assembling. This makes them more pliable and easier to fold into the desired hexagon shape. Additionally, when folding the edges, press down firmly to create a good seal, which will help prevent the fillings from spilling out during cooking.

• ground beef - Substitute with ground turkey: Ground turkey is a leaner option and provides a similar texture and flavor when seasoned properly.

• taco seasoning - Substitute with homemade spice mix: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to create a custom seasoning blend.

• large flour tortillas - Substitute with whole wheat tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas offer a healthier alternative with more fiber and nutrients.

• small corn tortillas - Substitute with small flour tortillas: Small flour tortillas can be used if you prefer a softer texture compared to corn tortillas.

• shredded lettuce - Substitute with shredded cabbage: Shredded cabbage provides a similar crunch and can add a slightly different flavor profile.

• diced tomatoes - Substitute with salsa: Salsa can add a bit more flavor and moisture compared to plain diced tomatoes.

• shredded cheese - Substitute with vegan cheese: Vegan cheese is a dairy-free alternative that melts well and can be used for those with dietary restrictions.

• sour cream - Substitute with Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative with a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture.

• nacho cheese sauce - Substitute with queso blanco: Queso blanco is a white cheese sauce that can provide a different but equally delicious flavor.

• Allow the crunchwraps to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make them soggy.
• Wrap each crunchwrap individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This keeps them fresh and prevents them from sticking together.
• Place the wrapped crunchwraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. This adds an extra layer of protection against freezer burn.
• Label the container or bag with the date. This helps you keep track of how long they've been stored.
• Store the crunchwraps in the refrigerator if you plan to eat them within 3-4 days. For longer storage, place them in the freezer where they can last up to 2 months.
• To reheat from the refrigerator, unwrap the crunchwrap and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
• For a crispier texture, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
• If reheating from frozen, it's best to thaw the crunchwrap in the refrigerator overnight. Then follow the reheating instructions for refrigerated crunchwraps.
• For a quick reheat from frozen, microwave on a lower power setting (50%) for 3-4 minutes, then finish with a minute on high power. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.

• Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme in aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. Place them on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This method helps maintain the crispiness of the tortilla.

• Skillet Method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme seam-side down in the skillet. Cover with a lid to trap the heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through and the tortilla is crispy. This method ensures a nice, crunchy exterior.

• Microwave Method: Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel to keep it from drying out. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. This is the quickest method but may result in a softer tortilla.

• Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the Crunchwrap Supreme in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and warmed through. This method combines speed and crispiness effectively.

• Skillet: Used to cook the ground beef until browned and to heat the crunchwraps until golden brown on both sides.

• Microwave: Used to warm the flour tortillas for easier folding.

• Flat surface: Provides a workspace to assemble the crunchwraps.

• Spatula: Helps in flipping the crunchwraps in the skillet to ensure even cooking.

• Knife: Used to dice the tomatoes.

• Cutting board: Provides a safe surface for dicing the tomatoes and shredding the lettuce.

• Measuring cups: Ensures accurate portions of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and nacho cheese sauce.

• Mixing bowl: Used to combine the ground beef with taco seasoning.

• Tongs: Handy for placing and removing the crunchwraps from the skillet.

• Paper towels: Used to drain excess fat from the cooked ground beef.

Prepare the filling: Cook the ground beef and mix with taco seasoning ahead of time. Store in the fridge until ready to assemble.

Pre-shred and dice: Pre-shred the lettuce and cheese, and dice the tomatoes in advance. Keep them in separate containers for easy access.

Microwave tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave instead of a skillet to save time.

Assembly line: Set up an assembly line with all ingredients. This makes it quicker to put together each crunchwrap.

Batch cooking: Cook multiple crunchwraps at once on a large skillet or griddle.
