Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Protein and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 diced tomato
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbly fragments while cooking.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning into the meat, stirring thoroughly to ensure even coating and allowing flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of refried beans directly in the center of each large tortilla, creating a smooth base for the filling.
- Layer the seasoned ground beef atop the refried beans, maintaining a concentrated center placement.
- Generously scatter shredded cheddar cheese over the warm meat to create a melting effect.
- Add a dollop of sour cream strategically in the center, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle diced tomatoes, onions, and chopped cilantro across the cheese layer for vibrant freshness and texture.
- Optional: Drizzle hot sauce for an extra kick of spiciness.
- Carefully fold the tortilla edges towards the center, creating a hexagonal shape that fully encases the fillings.
- Place the assembled Crunchwrap seam-side down in a preheated griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy, then gently flip and repeat on the opposite side.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately with extra salsa on the side.
Notes
- Lean Meat Modification: Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lower-fat protein option that maintains delicious flavor profiles.
- Vegetarian Transformation: Replace meat with black beans, roasted vegetables, or plant-based crumbles to create a satisfying meatless version.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas and verify all seasoning packets are gluten-free for celiac-friendly preparation.
- Spice Control: Adjust taco seasoning intensity by mixing your own blend, allowing precise heat and flavor customization for individual preferences.
