Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme

$- 1 lb ground beef or turkey - 1 taco seasoning packet - 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained - 1 cup cooked rice (preferably cilantro-lime) - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded - 1/2 cup sour cream - 1 cup lettuce, shredded - 1 large tomato, diced - 4 large flour tortillas - 4 smaller crispy tortillas (like tostadas) - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste Gathering these ingredients is the first step to making your Crunchwrap Supreme. Start with either ground beef or turkey. I love using turkey for a lighter option. The taco seasoning gives it that classic flavor. Rinse and drain your black beans. This adds protein and fiber to your meal. Next, cilantro-lime rice is a must. You can make it or buy it pre-made. The flavor brightens up the wrap. For the cheese, sharp cheddar gives a great taste. Don't forget the sour cream! It adds creaminess and balances the crunch. Lettuce and tomatoes add freshness. They give a nice crunch too. You need large flour tortillas to wrap all the fillings. The smaller tostadas add extra crunch inside. Finally, olive oil, salt, and pepper bring everything together. This way, you can cook your Crunchwrap until it's golden and crispy. Now you’re ready to dive into the cooking process! Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef or turkey. Cook until it turns brown and is no longer pink. This takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any fat from the meat. Now, add 1 taco seasoning packet and stir it in well. Next, mix in 1 cup of rinsed and drained black beans. This adds great flavor and texture. Next, take 4 large flour tortillas. Warm them up in a pan or microwave. This makes them easier to fold. You want them soft but not too hot to touch. This step helps the crunchwrap hold its shape better. Now comes the fun part! Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface. Start with a generous spoonful of the meat and bean mixture in the center. Then, add 1 cup of cooked cilantro-lime rice on top. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese next. Place one small crispy tortilla on top of the cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream, then a layer of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. To seal it, fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling. Create pleats and bring them together in the center. For cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully place each crunchwrap seam-side down in the pan. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. You want them toasted and golden brown. Repeat this process until all crunchwraps are ready. Cut each crunchwrap in half to show off those colorful layers inside. Enjoy your homemade Crunchwrap Supreme with extra sour cream and salsa on the side! To avoid soggy tortillas, warm the large flour tortillas first. This makes them soft and easy to fold. If you skip this step, the filling can leak and make your tortilla wet. After you fill the crunchwrap, always place the crispy tortilla inside. It creates a barrier, keeping the crunchwrap crispy. For cooking techniques, use medium heat for the skillet. This helps the tortilla toast without burning. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes. You want a nice golden brown color. If you prefer extra crunch, cook a little longer but watch closely. The best sides to serve with your Crunchwrap Supreme are rice and beans. You can also add tortilla chips for a great crunch. A simple salad can balance the meal too. For dipping sauces, extra sour cream is a must. Salsa or guacamole are great choices as well. If you enjoy a kick, add some hot sauce. It enhances the flavors and makes each bite exciting. When cooking for a crowd, adjust the ingredient quantities easily. If you want to make eight crunchwraps, double the recipe. Use 2 pounds of meat and more beans and rice. For assembly line style, set everything up before you start. Place the tortillas, fillings, and toppings in order. This way, you can make each crunchwrap quickly. It keeps the process smooth and fun for everyone. {{image_2}} You can easily make a vegetarian Crunchwrap. Instead of meat, use more beans. You can try lentils or chickpeas too. They add good protein and flavor. Add more veggies like bell peppers, corn, or spinach. This gives your crunchwrap color and crunch. Want some heat? Add sliced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce. You can mix in crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice. If you love heat, try chipotle powder or cayenne. These spices add depth and warmth. Cheese makes a crunchwrap creamy and rich. If you want a different taste, use pepper jack or queso fresco. Mix your cheeses for a fun flavor blend. For the best melt, shred your cheese fresh. This helps it melt smoothly and evenly. To store cooked crunchwraps, let them cool first. Place them in an airtight container. This helps keep them fresh. You can also wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Use parchment paper between layers if stacking. This prevents sticking. To keep your crunchwraps tasty, eat them within three days. Check for any signs of spoilage before eating. If they smell off or look strange, throw them out. You can freeze crunchwraps before cooking them. Wrap each one in plastic wrap, then foil. This protects them from freezer burn. You can also place them in a freezer-safe bag. To cook, thaw them in the fridge overnight. Heat on a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side. This helps them stay crispy and warm. In the fridge, cooked crunchwraps last about three days. If frozen, they can last up to three months. Always check for spoilage signs like a sour smell or odd colors. If you see or smell anything strange, it’s best to discard them. Yes, you can make Crunchwraps ahead of time. Prepare all the filling first. Cook the meat and mix in the beans, rice, cheese, and veggies. Store this mix in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, warm the tortillas. Layer and fold them, then cook. This saves time and keeps everything tasty. You can bake Crunchwraps instead of frying them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the folded Crunchwraps seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Flip them halfway through for even cooking. This method is great if you want to make several at once. If you don’t have taco seasoning, you can make your own. Use these spices for a simple blend: - 1 teaspoon chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon cumin - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste Mix these spices to get a tasty flavor for your meat. To make Crunchwraps gluten-free, swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas. Check the labels on all other ingredients, like beans and sauces. Use gluten-free options for any seasoning or sauces. This way, you keep the crunch and flavor while being gluten-free. This blog post covered how to make tasty Crunchwraps. We discussed key ingredients like ground beef, taco seasoning, and black beans.
