Ingredients
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
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
-
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Add ground beef and break it up with a spatula as it browns.
-
Once browned, drain excess fat.
-
Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thick and well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Prep the Fillings
-
While the beef cooks, prep the toppings: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, chop onions, and warm up the cheese sauce.
-
If using canned black beans, rinse and drain them.
Step 3: Assemble the Crunchwraps
-
Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
-
In the center, layer 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned beef.
-
Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce.
-
Place a tostada shell directly on top of the beef and cheese.
-
Spread sour cream over the tostada shell.
-
Add lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and any extras like beans or onions.
-
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
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
-
Place the Crunchwrap seam-side down into the air fryer basket. Depending on size, you may need to work in batches.
-
Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
-
Remove the Crunchwraps and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
-
Slice in half and serve with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or extra cheese sauce.
Notes
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.
