Method
 

Cook the Meat
  1. In a medium skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat. Drain fat and mix in taco seasoning. Cook until well-blended and slightly browned. Set aside.
Prepare the Work Surface
  1. Place one large tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of seasoned beef into the center.
Layer Ingredients
  1. Place a tostada shell over the meat. Spread nacho cheese sauce on top, followed by sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
Fold the Wrap
  1. Carefully fold the tortilla edges inward toward the center, overlapping slightly to close the wrap. Use trimmed tortilla scraps if needed to cover any gaps.
Cook the Crunchwrap
  1. Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Flip and repeat.
Optional Air Fryer Method
  1. Spray Crunchwrap with oil. Place seam-side down in air fryer at 380°F (193°C) and cook for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serve & Enjoy

Notes

  • Avoid sogginess: Use warm tortillas and avoid overfilling.
  • Tostada alternatives: Use corn chips or baked tortillas for the crunch.
  • Vegetarian option: Replace meat with black beans or plant-based crumbles.
  • Storage: Refrigerate components separately; assemble just before serving.
