Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Filling

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheese Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste

Assembly & Garnishes

  • 20 round tortilla chips
  • 20 teaspoons sour cream, divided
  • 2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded lettuce
  • 40 (5 inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the ground beef and brown it for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef along with ¼ cup water and stir until the beef is fully cooked and evenly seasoned. Taste and lightly season with salt and pepper if needed, then remove from heat.
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk and reduce heat to medium-low, stirring until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. Season lightly with salt and set aside.
  3. Cut tortilla circles: Using a 2-inch circle cutter, cut circles out of half of the flour tortillas. Set the cut circles aside and discard or reserve the borders for another use.
  4. Assemble the crunchwraps: Lay a whole 5-inch tortilla flat. Spoon ⅔ to 1 tablespoon of the seasoned beef onto the center, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Spoon about a tablespoon of cheese sauce over the beef, spreading evenly. Place one round tortilla chip on top and gently press down.
  5. Add toppings: Add a teaspoon of sour cream on the chip, then sprinkle with a small amount of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
  6. Top with tortilla circle: Place a previously cut smaller tortilla round over the lettuce and tomatoes and gently press down to hold everything together.
  7. Seal the crunchwrap: Carefully fold and crimp the outer edges of the large base tortilla over the smaller filled round tortilla, pressing firmly to seal. This may be slightly tricky, so take your time to avoid tearing.
  8. Cook the crunchwrap: Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the crimp side of the crunchwrap down on the skillet and gently press to seal it further. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the crunchwrap and sear the other side for about 1 minute until golden and heated through.
  10. Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Repeat the assembly and cooking process with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and improve texture.
  • The cheese sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently if needed.
  • Be careful when crimping the edges to avoid tearing the tortillas.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings like diced onions, jalapeños, or avocado for extra flavor.
  • To make these gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas and verify that the taco seasoning and flour used are gluten-free.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with seasoned cooked lentils or plant-based ground meat alternatives.
