Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Cheese Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste

Crunchwrap Assembly:

  • 20 round tortilla chips
  • 20 teaspoons sour cream, divided
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded lettuce
  • 40 (5 inch) flour tortillas (20 whole, 20 cut into 2-inch circles)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the ground beef and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and add ¼ cup water. Stir together and cook until beef is fully cooked and evenly seasoned. Season lightly with salt and pepper if needed, then remove from heat.
  2. Prepare Cheese Sauce: Place a small saucepan over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, lower heat to medium-low, and continue stirring until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. Add Cheese to Sauce: Remove the sauce from heat and slowly add shredded cheddar cheese, a small handful at a time, whisking until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season lightly with salt and set aside.
  4. Prepare Tortilla Circles: Using a 2-inch circle cutter, cut circles from half of the flour tortillas (about 20). Discard the borders or save for another use.
  5. Assemble Crunchwrap: Place a whole 5-inch tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon ⅔ to 1 tablespoon of the seasoned ground beef onto the center, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Add Cheese Sauce: Top the beef with 1 tablespoon of the creamy cheese sauce, spreading evenly over the beef layer.
  7. Add Crunch and Fresh Toppings: Place one round tortilla chip on top of the cheese sauce and gently press down. Add 1 teaspoon of sour cream, followed by a small amount of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
  8. Top with Tortilla Circle: Place one of the cut 2-inch tortilla rounds over the lettuce and tomatoes and gently press down to create the layered effect.
  9. Seal the Crunchwrap: Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully fold the edges of the base tortilla over the top tortilla circle, crimping to seal the sides, forming a compact pocket (this step requires delicacy).
  10. Cook the Crunchwrap: Place the crunchwrap seam-side down onto the hot skillet and gently press to seal. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
  11. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook for an additional minute to crisp the other side.
  12. Serve and Repeat: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining ingredients until all crunchwraps are cooked. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with seasoned cooked lentils or plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Use mild or spicy taco seasoning depending on your heat preference.
  • Ensure the cheese sauce is not too thick for easier spreading.
  • Be gentle when folding edges to avoid tearing tortillas.
  • Serve with additional salsa or guacamole for extra flavor.
  • Best served fresh to maintain crispiness of the tortilla chips and crunchwrap exterior.
