Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Beef Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or 1 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
• ¼ cup water

For Assembling the Crunchwrap:

• 6 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 6 small tostada shells
• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (or any melty cheese sauce)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped onions (optional)
• 1 cup cooked black beans (optional for extra filling or vegetarian twist)
• Cooking spray

Tools You’ll Need

• Air fryer
• Skillet
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board
• Small bowl
• Aluminum foil (optional for wrapping or sealing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add ground beef and break it up with a spatula as it browns.
3. Once browned, drain excess fat.
4. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thick and well combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Prep the Fillings

1. While the beef cooks, prep the toppings: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, chop onions, and warm up the cheese sauce.
2. If using canned black beans, rinse and drain them.

Step 3: Assemble the Crunchwraps

1. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
2. In the center, layer 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned beef.
3. Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce.
4. Place a tostada shell directly on top of the beef and cheese.
5. Spread sour cream over the tostada shell.
6. Add lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and any extras like beans or onions.
7. To seal, fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the center, creating overlapping pleats. If needed, cut a small circle from another tortilla and place it in the center before folding to help seal the wrap.

Step 4: Air Fry the Crunchwraps

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
2. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
3. Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down into the air fryer basket. Depending on size, you may need to work in batches.
4. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the Crunchwraps and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
2. Slice in half and serve with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or extra cheese sauce.

Tips for the Perfect Crunchwrap
Warm the Tortillas – Heat tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make folding easier.
Don’t Overfill – Stick to modest portions so the tortilla can wrap and seal properly.
Seal Securely – A small cut-out tortilla patch in the center helps keep everything contained.
Watch the Time – Air fryer models vary, so keep an eye on the wraps to avoid over-browning.

Serving Suggestions
Mexican Street Corn – Sweet, smoky, and creamy corn is the perfect side.
Cilantro Lime Rice – Bright and fluffy, great for a more filling meal.
Homemade Guacamole – Rich, creamy avocado dip to complement the crunch.
Spicy Salsa – Add extra heat with a kick of jalapeños or habaneros.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:

• Refrigerate: Wrap cooled Crunchwraps in foil or an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Individually wrap in foil and place in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.

Reheating:

• Air Fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
• Oven: Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes.
• Microwave: Use short intervals (30 seconds) to avoid sogginess—best for convenience, not texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef?
   Absolutely! Both work great and are leaner options.
2. What if I don’t have tostada shells?
   You can bake or fry small corn tortillas until crisp, or use a handful of tortilla chips in the center.
3. How do I make it vegetarian?
   Skip the meat and use seasoned beans, tofu crumbles, or plant-based meat alternatives.
4. Can I make it dairy-free?
   Yes! Use plant-based cheese, sour cream, and queso alternatives.
5. What if I don’t have an air fryer?
   No problem. Cook the Crunchwrap seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides.
