Taco Crunchwrap or the Taco Bell Beef Crunchwrap Supreme is described as :

A warm, soft flour tortilla filled with a crunchy tostada shell, seasoned ground beef, and warm nacho cheese sauce on one side with cool reduced-fat sour cream, crisp shredded lettuce, and diced ripe tomatoes on the other.

Tortilla

Use a 12-inch Flour Tortilla. These can be a bit hard to find. In which case, you can make homemade 12-inch flour tortillas or use 10-inch flour tortillas. With 10 inch tortillas, you won’t get a complete seal, due to the smaller size. This can be remedied by tearing another tortilla into 4 equal sections and using each one on top before folding the Crunch wrap to get a complete seal and creating the classic hexagon shape.

Brown the Tortillas a bit in a skillet, a few seconds on each side until toasted. Then set the Tortillas aside on a plate or waxed paper until ready to assemble.

Taco Seasoned Ground Beef

Check out the Taco Meat Recipe to make the Taco Seasoned Ground Beef. This taco meat is made with that same texture you get at Taco Bell. About 60 g – 90 g or 1/4 C go into each one. Flattened out in the center of the Tortilla. If you add more, it will be difficult to get a good seal.

Nacho Cheese

Use store-bought Nacho Cheese or exchange the seasoning with a bit of Taco Seasoning (1 tsp or more) to the Cheese Whiz Sauce for homemade Nacho Cheese. Use about 1-2 Tbl of Nacho Cheese Sauce for each Taco Crunchwrap.

You can also exchange this with a Three Cheese Blend sprinkled over top or in combination with.

Tostadas

Tostadas are used not only to add extra crunch, but as a guideline on where the Taco Crunchwrap needs to be wrapped. It also assists in holding the Taco Crunchwrap together so that it doesn’t flop everywhere.

I did try this with Doritos, which didn’t really work out. They went soft and couldn’t really tell they were there. Tostadas will retain most of the crunch and assist in holding the shape together much better.

Sour Cream

About 1–2 Tbl of Sour Cream is used directly on the Tostadas before the Lettuce & Tomatoes go on.

Lettuce

Just a small amount of chopped Lettuce washed well in cold water, then strained.

Tomatoes

A small amount of diced tomatoes washed well in cold water and strained.

Taco Crunchwrap Assembly

The Hot ingredients go in first and are separated by the Tostadas from the Cold topping that goes on top.

How to Fold the Taco Crunchwrap Supreme

The Taco Crunch Supreme is folded 6 times for the classic hexagon shape. You have to ensure you don’t have too much filling. If you do, you won’t get a complete seal after folding.

It can be a bit tricky folding these. Although the Tostadas in the center does help. For some reason, I always end up folding these 7 times. I’m not all too concerned with it, as long as it gets folded. But I did want to know the correct way to fold it and came across this training video on YouTube which shows how to fold the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme.

How to grill the Taco Crunchwrap Supreme

Heat a skillet up over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes. Then Place the Crunchwrap seam side down to cook for about 25–30 seconds. Flip it over and grill the other side. If when flipping it over the seam side does not hold, flip it back over for another few seconds until it does.

Careful not to brown it too much, if the pan is too hot, remove it from the heat for a bit.

See what I mean with the shape, I can’t help it, for some reason I am always folding these 7 times. As long as you get it sealed, it’s all good. You can also use this technique for a wide variety of Fillings, Sauces, and Cheese.
