Crunchy Meatless Taco Wraps Recipes

GIANT CRUNCHY TACO WRAP

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to the package instructions on the taco seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cheese sauce in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warm and pourable.
• On a work surface, lay out 5 flour tortillas in a circle, overlapping slightly. Add a tortilla to the middle, on top of the others. Spread the ground beef evenly over the center tortilla. Pour the cheese onto the beef (it's okay if it's not completely covered). Cover the cheese with a layer of 4 tostada rounds. Press them down, breaking them a little, to make a flat layer. Spread the sour cream in an even layer over the tostadas. Sprinkle the lettuce over the top of the sour cream, then sprinkle with the tomatoes. Add the final tortilla over the tomato. Fold the sides of the tortillas up and over to wrap around the layers. The top should be covered in overlapping folds. Press the wrap down so that it is even and not domed. Brush the top with canola oil.
• Remove the rimmed baking sheet from the oven. Brush the baking sheet with canola oil, then carefully transfer the wrap to the baking sheet meat-side down. Bake immediately until the top is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Invert the crunch wrap onto a serving platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve with hot sauce if using.

CRUNCHY MEATLESS TACO WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground meat and cook, breaking into crumbles using a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
• Put the lettuce from the salad kit in another medium bowl.
• Put any toppings included in the salad kit, such as tortilla strips and pepitas, in another medium bowl. Add enough tortilla chips to measure 1 cup total and toss to combine.
• Place 1 large tortilla on a cutting board. Starting from the bottom of the tortilla, cut a vertical slit halfway up the tortilla. In the first quadrant of the tortilla on the lower left side, place 1/3 cup of the plant-based ground meat. Working clockwise, in the second quadrant on the upper left side, add 1/4 cup of the cheese. In the third quadrant on the upper right side, add a quarter of the lettuce. In the fourth quadrant on the lower right side, add 1/4 cup of the tortilla chip mixture.
• Starting with the first quadrant with the plant-based meat, fold the quadrant upwards on top of the second quadrant with the cheese. Fold the second quadrant to the right on top of the chopped lettuce, and finally, fold the third quadrant down on top of the crushed tortilla chips to form a triangle-shaped taco wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining 3 tortillas and toppings.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add 2 taco wraps and press down with the back of a nonstick spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 2 taco wraps. Remove to a cutting board, cut in half if desired and serve with salsa verde and sour cream.

CRUNCHY TACO RING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the ground beef, breaking apart with your spoon, and mix into the other ingredients. Add the taco seasoning and the lime juice. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
• On a cutting board, place the stack of tortillas. Cut off two round sides of the tortillas, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) wide middle section. Cut the middle section in half vertically.
• Generously spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• Place the middle strips of tortilla in the bundt pan in a fanning pattern. Each tortillas strip should slightly overlap the previous strip. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas.
• Spread half of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese.
• Place a third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the ground beef mixture in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top of the cheese.
• Place another third of the round strips of tortilla on top of the chips in a fanning pattern. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top of the tortillas. Spread the rest of the ground beef mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the rest of the Monterey Jack on top of the ground beef mixture. Place the rest of the tortillas on top of the cheese in a fanning pattern.
• Bake for 45 minutes until crispy and browned.
• Let cool for 20 minutes.
• Place a plate on top of the bundt pan, and invert the ring onto the plate.
• Slice and serve with salsa.
• Enjoy!

TACO-BELL CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME(VEGETARIAN VERSION)

Steps:

• Set-up & Tips:.
• Your tortilla needs to be about two inches more than twice the diameter of your tostada shell. For example, for a 5 inch (normal) tostada shell, you should use a 12 inch tortilla. As all I had were 8 inch tortillas when I made these, I cut my tostada shells down to 3 inches using a sharp knife. As a result, I had sort-of "mini crunchwraps", so don't judge the size of your crunchwrap based on my pictures.
• As the cheese needs to go nearest to the outside, and beans don't spread well on cheese, it works best to spread the beans on the tostada shell rather than the tortilla. Pre-heating the beans will also make them easier to spread, and help to melt the cheese (just zap them in the microwave quickly).
• If you plan to use beef, invert the instructions below, and sprinkle the cheese then the meat onto the center of the tortilla first instead.
• If you really want to do everything properly, add 1/2 Tbsp water to your sour cream, and put it into a condiment squeeze bottle for easy application.
• WARM the tortilla for about 15 seconds in the microwave right before using it, so that it doesn't crack when you fold it.
• Assembly:.
• Spread a little over 1/4 cup of beans on your tostada shell, so that you get an even layer to the edges, just under 1/2" thick.
• Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese over the beans, again to the very edges of the shell.
• Place a warmed flour tortilla centered over the tostada shell, and reaching under and supporting the shell, invert the whole assembly.
• Squeeze or spread a thin layer of sour cream over the exposed tostada shell.
• Spread about 1/4 cup lettuce over the sour cream.
• Spread 1/8 cup tomatoes over the lettuce.
• Folding:.
• Now comes the tricky part. This may be a little difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly(see description to go to website for step by step photos).
• Fold one side of the tortilla as far as it will go over the other ingredients.
• Using your fingers, make the next fold just like the last, while tucking the extra tortilla under the fold.
• Continue folding like this until you reach the very end, where there is a single triangular flap left.
• Fold the final flap closed.
• Cooking:.
• Using a folded piece of paper towel, lightly grease a 12 inch skillet (cast iron works great).
• Preheat skillet to power level 5 (medium high on a normal stove), until oil begins to bead.
• Turn to power level 3 (high side of medium), and place folded crunchwrap right-side up in pan.
• Using a smaller skillet (or other heavy food-safe object), press crunchwrap firmly into the pan. Turn as soon as it becomes evenly brown (about 30 seconds or longer).
• Use smaller skillet again to press other side into pan until nicely brown (again about 30 seconds or longer). You might want to quickly re-oil the pan before doing this.
• Remove, let cool, and enjoy!

TACO BELL STYLE CRUNCH WRAP SUPREME

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until halfway cooked. Use the spoon only to break the ground beef into chunks.
• Remove the semi-cooked meat from the skillet and add to a food processor. Pulse until the meat is a finely ground consistency. Drain the pan of the grease that has already cooked out of the meat.
• Add the meat back to the skillet and bring it to medium heat. Add the onion flakes, garlic powder, cornstarch, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, cayenne powder and sugar.
• Cook for two minutes, stirring to evenly distribute the add-ins and then pour the water over the meat. Simmer uncovered until the meat is cooked through (10 minutes).
• While meat is simmering, transfer eight to ten tbsp (depends on how much cheese sauce you want) of salsa con queso cheese dip into a bowl. Quickly zap in the microwave until it is liquid hot. Keep warm.
• When ready to serve, lay out one flour tortilla and add a spoonful of the meat mixture to the center then top with a similar size spoonful of cheese dip. Top the meat and cheese mixture with a tostada shell and plop down one tablespoon of sour cream on top.
• Add some of the tomatoes and shredded lettuce over the sour cream and then, working counter clockwise, fold the edges of the flour tortilla up over the meat, cheese, tostada, tomato, and lettuce pile. Continue to fold until it is completely wrapped and in the shape of a hexagon.
• Heat another medium skillet over high heat and grease with some cooking spray. Fry the flour tortilla on each side until it gets a nice golden brown crust (1-2 minutes per side). While one is frying, make another wrap. Serve with a copycat Taco Bell Sauce, like red sauce, fire sauce or green sauce.
