Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 4 crunchy taco shells
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded cheese
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until fully browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease using a fine mesh strainer. Return beef to the skillet, stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces and beef is coated. Adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
- Prepare the Tortillas and Shells: Wrap 4 small flour tortillas in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm and pliable. Avoid overheating to prevent chewiness. Stack on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.For the taco shells, wrap them gently in paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to soften slightly. Be cautious not to overheat to avoid breaking.
- Assemble the Crunch Wraps: Arrange your workspace with all fillings and components. Take a flour tortilla, place it on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned beef mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
Cooking Tips:
- Use corn or flour tortillas instead of taco shells for a softer crunch. Warm before assembly.
- For crispy taco shells, brush or spray both sides with oil before cooking and fry in a hot skillet until golden brown.
- Experiment with different cheese blends, such as pepper jack for added spice.
- Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the beef for extra heat.
- Keep Crunch Wrap ingredients chilled for easier assembly and a cleaner wrap.
- Avoid overfilling to maintain the perfect crunch.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option, seasoning similarly to beef.
