Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if lean beef is used)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
  • Small tostada shells or crispy corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or Mexican crema
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, guacamole, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. If using lean ground beef, add 1 tbsp olive oil; otherwise, no oil is necessary.
  2. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup water to help the spices meld and keep the meat juicy. Stir well and simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the liquid reduces and beef is well coated. Remove from heat.
  5. Place a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tbsp sour cream in the center.
  6. Add about 1/3 cup of the seasoned ground beef on top of the sour cream.
  7. Place a tostada shell or crispy corn tortilla on top of the beef layer.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the tostada shell.
  9. Add a handful of shredded lettuce and a few diced tomatoes.
  10. Carefully fold the edges of the large flour tortilla toward the center, pleating as you go to create a hexagonal shape that fully encloses the fillings.
  11. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Place the folded Crunchwrap seam side down in the pan.
  12. Press gently with a spatula and cook until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  13. Flip carefully and toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden.
  14. Let it rest for a minute or two so the cheese sets slightly, then slice in half or enjoy whole.

Notes

Warm tortillas before assembling to make folding easier. Do not overfill to avoid tearing. Toast on medium heat and press gently for even browning. Let rest before serving to prevent filling from spilling. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream and cheese with plant-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas and tostada shells.
