Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Protein Filling
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add ground beef or chicken.
- Season: Once browned, drain the excess fat and add taco seasoning with a splash of water. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Step 2: Set Up Your Assembly Area
- Lay the Tortilla: Place a large flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- Spoon some of the cooked beef or chicken into the center of the tortilla.
- Place a tostada shell on top of the meat.
- Spread nacho cheese sauce over the tostada and add a dollop of sour cream.
- Layer with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños (if desired).
Step 3: Fold and Cook
- Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla over the center, making overlapping pleats to seal.
- Cook the Crunchwrap: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a light coating of olive oil or butter. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet.
- Crisp and Seal: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure the seams are sealed well before flipping.
Notes
Cooking Tip: Always cook seam-side down first to help seal the wrap. Adding a dab of Cowboy Butter to the skillet adds incredible flavor.
