TACO BELL CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until cooked through. Drain excess grease, and stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Cook according to the package directions. Warm the nacho cheese sauce in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the flour tortillas on a large plate and microwave for 20 seconds to warm them. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat to a medium heat. Place the crunch wrap seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the crunch wrap over, and cook the other side until it is golden brown. Serve immediately.

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.

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!
