Instructions
Make the taco meat. In a stock pot or skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Then add the ground turkey, onions, and jalapeños – and sauté until the meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add the taco seasoning and cook for a few more minutes.1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 medium yellow onion, 1/2 large jalapeno, 1.5 Tablespoons taco seasoning
Prep tortillas. Warm the tortillas in the microwave to make them pliable and easy to fold, then lightly brush both sides with a little water just before assembling — this helps the tortilla seal and get perfectly golden and crispy when it hits the pan.
Add toppings. Place large tortillas on a flat surface. Lay slices of cheese in the center of each tortilla. Then spoon 1/4 of the meat on top of the cheese, followed by 5-6 bite-sized Tostitos. Then add the Roma tomato slices and some shredded lettuce.4 large flour tortillas, 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, 20 Tostito chips, 2 medium Roma tomatoes, 1 1/3 cup iceberg lettuce
Assemble crunch wraps. Add the small tortilla on top of the pile of toppings, and then fold the sides of the tortilla around the middle, folding it around as you go. It can be a little tricky to fold the large tortilla, but the goal is to make it tight so that the toppings stay inside the wrap.4 small flour tortillas
Flip wraps. After assembly, flip each crunch wrap over – folded side down – to keep it wrapped tightly.
Brown the wraps. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Then place a crunch wrap (or two, if you are using an extra large skillet) inside the pan, folded side down. Be careful to keep it tightly wrapped as you place them in the pan.Cook each wrap until golden brown before flipping it to cook the other side. Add more oil as needed to brown all sides.2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
Cook each wrap to golden brown before flipping it to cook the other side of the wrap. Add more oil as needed to brown all sides.Pro-Tip: Hold the wrap up with a paper towel to cook on the edges, if desired.
