These Easy Taco Crunch Wraps are my version of the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme. Using a DIY taco seasoning, ground turkey, two kinds of shredded cheese, blue chips, and veggies – these are heaven on earth.
I. am. obsessed.
These Taco Crunch Wraps are a thing, and I’m LOVING it. I just wish it would have been a thing when I had wee little ones with little hands. Because trying to get small people to eat a taco is called MESS.
But THIS. The process of wrapping the shell around the filling, and lightly frying it in a pan, makes it SO MUCH easier to eat. I’m only making tacos this way from now until forever, because big people make taco eating messy too.
Let’s “taco ’bout” the details.
- ground turkey plus onions
- DIY taco seasoning (or use the packet seasoning)
- shredded cheese
- blue chips (or one large tostada)
- lettuce
- cherry tomatoes
- all the toppings…avocado, sour cream, and salsa
Below is a step-by-step Taco Crunch Wrap process.
Using large WARMED burrito size flour tortillas, spread:
- cheese
- taco meat
- blue chips (or any kind of chips)
- lettuce
- tomato
- more cheese
Than wrap it up. Fold in one side, and then wrap edges up one section at a time, until all sides are folded inward.
To make this wrap stay folded, you then must lightly fry it in a skillet, on both sides.
A couple of notes to consider:
- Be sure to slightly warm the tortillas, so that is soft and pliable to fold.
- Watch out for sharp corners on the chips that could puncture the tortilla You can crush them up, or simply use a round tostada shell (like Taco Bell does).
- Don’t over-fill the tortilla. If you do, you’ll have a mess. And we are trying to avoid the mess!
- Make either my 1) Easy Homemade Salsa, or my 2) Homemade Salsa Verde to go with these wraps.
BTW, you could basically wrap anything up in a crunch wrap. Beans, rice, chicken, steak, sweet potatoes, quinoa, and so on. Tailor it to your cravings.
Enjoy!
