#1,814: Copycat Crunchwrap



This picture doesn't really cut it, but I swear there is nacho cheese and a tostada in there!  Although this recipe was supposed to also have lettuce and tomatoes (yum), my kids would have never touched it.  So I just did the nacho cheese sauce and the sour cream.  One kid loved it, and 2 thought it was "just ok."  And the big one (aka my husband) wouldn't even try it.  Big babies.  I had a bite of it and I thought it was good!  I'd make this again for my oldest, but the other 3 prefer a regular taco.  I think a Crunchwrap Supreme with sour cream, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, cilantro, and black olives would be awesome!

1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 can nacho cheese (or queso cheese dip)
6 burrito-size flour tortillas
6 tostada shells or corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce (I omitted)
1 tomato, diced (I omitted)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain grease. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, and water it calls for on package. Cook according to package directions.

Warm the nacho cheese sauce or queso cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the flour tortillas on a large plate. Microwave for 20 seconds to warm them.

Lay one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1/2 cup of taco meat onto the center of the tortilla. Drizzle a couple Tablespoons of nacho cheese over the meat. Top meat with one tostada shell or crispy corn tortilla *see notes below. Spread a thin layer of sour cream over the tostada shell. Top with lettuce, tomato and shredded Mexican cheese.

To fold the crunch wrap, start with the bottom of the flour tortilla and fold the edge up over the center. Continue to work your way around, folding the flour tortilla over the center fillings. There will be a spot left open in the center; cut a piece of another flour tortilla and tuck it in the center, so it's fully covered.

Repeat with all remaining tortillas, tostadas and fillings. You'll have 6 crunch wraps total.
Spray a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Place one crunchwrap seam-side down onto the skillet. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, or until golden-brown. Carefully, flip over and cook other side until golden-brown. Repeat process with all crunchwraps. Serve immediatley.
