Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef: You can substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or vegetarian protein crumbles.
1 packet taco seasoning mix: Adjust seasoning to taste based on your choice of protein.
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup nacho cheese sauce
1 cup sour cream
6 large flour tortillas
6 tostada shells
Cooking spray or oil: For cooking the tortillas to a crispy golden brown.

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning mix and follow the packet instructions, adding water as needed. Simmer until the seasoning is well incorporated and the mixture thickens.
Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly in the microwave or a hot pan to make them pliable.
Assemble the Crunch Wrap Supreme: Lay a tortilla flat, place a tostada shell in the center, spread nacho cheese sauce, add seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the fillings, creating a hexagonal shape.
Cook the Crunch Wrap Supreme: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, coat with cooking spray or oil, and place the Crunch Wrap folded-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy with additional salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.

Notes

Substitutions: You can swap the ground beef for other proteins like shredded chicken, pork, or plant-based crumbles.
Tortilla Size: If your tortillas are too small, consider using a second smaller piece to reinforce the wrap.
Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain the crispy texture.
