Take-Out Fake-Out
I’d have to say that a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme is at the top of my list of fast food favorites. They’re so good!
Crunchwraps taste even better made at home and cost less! Adjust the toppings to be a bit healthier (low-fat cheeses and up the veggies) and even swap out a whole wheat tortilla if you’d like!Skip the drive-thru line, you can make these at home any time.Everyone can build their own, add in favorites from shredded salsa chicken to spicy homemade jalapenos!
Ingredients for a Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme
A Crunchwrap Supreme is easy to make at home in just a few steps and they’re great to use up leftover taco fillings of any kind! Tortillas You will need large tortillas to hold all of the fillings in this crunchwrap. Before preparing, warm the tortilla in the microwave for a few seconds to prevent it from cracking. A loaded tostada covered with filling is wrapped in a flour tortilla; you’ll need the larger size. Be sure to warm the tortilla in the microwave for a few seconds to keep it from cracking as you wrap it. Fillings I use ground beef with taco seasoning but any ground meat will work (or even chicken). Use a seasoning packet or make your own taco seasoning mix with spices like chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes will cover the basics but don’t be afraid to add in your own favorites. Refried beans, sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, jalapenos, green chilies, and sliced olives!
How to Make a Crunchwrap Supreme
The magic of this recipe is a crunchy tostada (or tortilla chips) that is placed in the center of each tortilla. The crispy tostada is used to separate the hot (beef/cheese) from the cold (lettuce/tomatoes). If you don’t have a tostada shell, swap it out for tortilla chips. Break off any sharp corners so they don’t rip the tortilla as you fold it. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Add in a side of Cilantro Tomato Rice and a pitcher of easy Strawberry Margaritas to wash down all that zesty goodness!
Leftovers
Because they have fresh veggies and sour cream, they’re best if enjoyed fresh.Leftovers can be reheated (the lettuce will not be crisp) in the microwave.
