Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Medium-sized skillet
• Microwave
• Spatula
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 12 “burrito size” flour tortillas
• 6 corn tortillas
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 pkg taco seasoning of your choice
• 1 jar of taco cheese (found in the same aisle as Mexican foods/or chips)
• 1 container of sour cream
• 3-4 tomatoes (depending on size)
• 1 bag/head of iceberg lettuce

**Please note these quantities and measurements for filling crunch wraps are estimates, you should adjust filling amounts to suit your own tastes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Use one corn tortilla to cut a circle of the same size out of 6 of the flour tortillas. Put the 6 cut-out flour tortillas aside. (Reserve outside of the 6 flour tortillas for making homemade tortilla chips if desired.)
2. Place 6 corn tortillas on a baking sheet (spread out) and bake until crispy (mine took about 7 minutes—I would recommend starting with 5 minutes and then checking every 2-3 minutes until they are done to your liking). Put oven to “warm”.
3. Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning as directed on the packet and set aside. Chop tomatoes and lettuce. Have a medium-sized skillet ready on the stove and have a counter surface with all of your ingredients ready to assemble.
4. Microwave a full-size flour tortilla for about 10 seconds (or until warm) and lay onto counter surface. Place some (I started with 3-4 TBSP and adjusted from there) ground beef in the center of the tortilla and top with some of the cheese (I did about 2-3 TBSP).
5. Lay a corn tortilla on top and press down slightly. Top corn tortilla with some sour cream (I did about 1-2 TBSP) and some chopped lettuce and tomato. Top entire thing with one of the cut-out flour tortillas that are the same size as the corn tortilla.
6. Fold each side of the larger tortilla up until all the filling is covered, pressing down to get a somewhat seal.
7. Spray the cooking pan lightly with cooking spray and place the crunch wrap into it, seam side down. Cook on low-medium, pushing down lightly with a spatula, for 2-3 minutes on each side. Place on serving pan in oven to keep warm until ready to eat.
8. Continue with other ingredients until you have made all the crunch wraps.

Tips for Success

• Make sure your tortillas are warm to prevent tearing when folding.
• Press down gently with a spatula to ensure a good seal when cooking.
• Adjust the filling amounts to your preference, and don’t overload to prevent breaking.

Additional Tips and Variations

Add some spice with jalapeños or a touch of hot sauce for an extra kick. You can also substitute ground beef with chicken or a vegetarian option like black beans for a different twist.
