Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe

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

Taco seasoning: A blend of spices that gives the beef its signature Mexican flavor.

Flour tortillas: Large tortillas used to wrap all the ingredients together.

Corn tortillas: Smaller tortillas that add an extra layer of texture inside the wrap.

Lettuce: Shredded for a fresh, crunchy element.

Tomatoes: Diced to add juiciness and a burst of flavor.

Cheddar cheese: Shredded to melt perfectly inside the wrap.

Sour cream: Adds a creamy, tangy finish to the wrap.

To ensure your ground beef is perfectly seasoned and flavorful, after browning and draining the excess fat, add a splash of water along with the taco seasoning. This helps the seasoning evenly coat the meat and enhances the overall taste. When folding the large flour tortilla around the filling, make sure to tuck it tightly to prevent any ingredients from spilling out during cooking. For an extra crispy texture, press down gently with a spatula while cooking the wrap in the skillet.

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

• taco seasoning - Substitute with homemade taco seasoning: Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano for a fresh and customizable seasoning mix.

• large flour tortillas - Substitute with whole wheat tortillas: Whole wheat tortillas offer more fiber and nutrients while maintaining a similar texture.

• 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 more flavor and moisture compared to plain diced tomatoes.

• shredded cheddar cheese - Substitute with shredded Monterey Jack cheese: Monterey Jack cheese melts well and has a mild flavor that complements the other ingredients.

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

• Allow the ground beef mixture to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the tortillas soggy.
• Wrap each Crunchwrap Supreme individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This helps maintain their shape and keeps them from sticking together.
• Place the wrapped Crunchwraps in an airtight container or a zip-top freezer bag. If using a freezer bag, remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the container or bag with the date. Crunchwraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 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 skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the filling is hot.
• To reheat from frozen, thaw the Crunchwrap in the refrigerator overnight. Then follow the same reheating instructions as for refrigerated Crunchwraps.
• Alternatively, you can reheat directly from frozen by microwaving on high for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through. For a crispier finish, follow up with a quick sear in a skillet.
• Avoid reheating in the oven as it can dry out the tortillas and make the Crunchwrap less enjoyable.

• 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 15-20 minutes, or until the ground beef and cheese are warmed through.

• Skillet Method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap Supreme in the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the filling is hot. This method helps maintain the crunchiness of the tortilla.

• Microwave Method: Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on a microwave-safe plate. Cover it with a damp paper towel to keep it from drying out. Heat on high for 1-2 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even heating. Note that this method may make the tortilla a bit soggy.

• 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, or until the tortilla is crispy and the filling is hot. This method combines the best of both worlds: a crispy exterior and a warm interior.

• Toaster Oven Method: Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the Crunchwrap Supreme on the toaster oven tray. Heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the ground beef and cheese are warmed through and the tortilla is crispy.

• Skillet: Used to cook the ground beef until browned and to crisp up the wrap.

• Microwave: Used to warm the flour tortillas quickly.

• Flat surface: Needed to assemble the Crunchwrap Supreme.

• Spatula: Helps in stirring the ground beef and flipping the wrap.

• Knife: Used to dice the tomatoes.

• Cutting board: Provides a safe surface to chop the vegetables.

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

• Tongs: Useful for handling the hot tortillas and wraps.

• Bowl: Used to mix the taco seasoning with the cooked ground beef.

• Plate: To hold the assembled Crunchwrap Supreme before cooking.

Prepare the filling: Cook the ground beef and mix with taco seasoning ahead of time. Store in the fridge for quick assembly.

Pre-chop veggies: Dice tomatoes and shred lettuce in advance. Keep them in separate containers for easy access.

Use pre-shredded cheese: Save time by buying shredded cheddar cheese instead of shredding it yourself.

Microwave tortillas: Warm multiple flour tortillas at once in the microwave by stacking them with damp paper towels in between.

Assembly line: Set up an assembly line with all ingredients. This speeds up the process and ensures each Crunchwrap Supreme is uniform.
