Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or 90/10)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (about 2 tablespoons)
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 large flour tortillas (12-inch)
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce, warmed
- 4 tostada shells (5-inch)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 2 ½ cups shredded lettuce
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 1 ½–2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Optional add-ins: guacamole, avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, refried beans
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it browns.
- Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and water. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in ½ cup shredded cheese, remove from heat, and set aside.
- Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon beef mixture into the center, leaving space around the edges.
- Spread nacho cheese over the beef, sprinkle on extra shredded cheese, and top with a tostada shell.
- Spread sour cream over the tostada, then top with lettuce, diced tomato, and any optional add-ins.
- Fold the tortilla in pleats around the center to fully seal. Flip seam-side down.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Toast the crunchwrap seam-side down for 2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side until golden.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slice and serve warm with dips of choice.
Notes
- Use crushed tortilla chips if tostada shells aren’t available.
- Ground turkey, chicken, or sautéed veggies can replace beef.
- Make ahead by prepping beef and toppings in advance, but assemble fresh for best texture.
- Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Customize spice level with jalapeños, hot sauce, or spicy cheese.
